FRANCK-JUERYChâteau du Moulin-à-Vent
Romanèche-Thorins
Between history and modernity, this visit immerses you in our daily life.
From the presentation of the AOC and the Château to the tasting of our wines and the technical facilities, here is everything you need to understand the reasons for the existence of the estate!
This visit transports curious visitors into the daily life of the estate.
From the privileged vantage point of the terrace overlooking the appellation, they discover the unique characteristics of Moulin-à-Vent: its granite soils and their distinctive pink sands, the impact of the winds that sweep across the AOC and the estate, and the diversity of its terroirs, of which they can already glimpse five of the 69, each with its own distinct environment. A journey into the Château's past immerses them in three centuries of history, alongside the great families who have nurtured the estate, their faith remaining undiminished to this day.
In the winery, the focus shifts to the technical aspects: explanations of our methods and choices, and a detailed look at the genesis of our wines, from harvest to aging. The estate's vaulted cellar, dating from the late 16th century, marks the end of the tour.
The Chapelle des Thorins then opens its doors, with 4 wines available for tasting: 3 cuvées, including 2 parcel selections from the terroirs presented at the beginning of the visit, from the current vintage, as well as a cuvée from an older vintage, in order to appreciate the "vintage effect" on our wines.
