Château Moulin Caresse, Montravel 2016

Château Moulin Caresse Montravel 2016 is a characterful red from southwest France, offering a polished expression of the region’s limestone-and-clay terroir. Built around Merlot with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings together ripe fruit, spice, and freshness in a style that feels both generous and refined.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep dark-red colour that hints at its ripe, concentrated profile. The nose is expressive and elegant, with layers of mature dark fruit lifted by spicy nuances and a refined aromatic balance. On the palate, the wine is rounded and harmonious, with supple tannins and a fine mineral streak that adds freshness and definition. The structure suggests good ageing potential, while the balance between fruit, spice, and minerality makes it enjoyable now and capable of developing further complexity over the next few years.
