Château Moulin Caresse, Montravel 2016

Château Moulin Caresse Montravel 2016 is an expressive red from one of the most distinctive appellations in southwest France, where ripe fruit meets the freshness of the region’s limestone-influenced terroir. Aged for 18 months in oak, it combines refined spice, rounded tannins and mineral freshness in a polished, food-friendly style.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep, dark-red colour. Its expressive, refined bouquet is marked by aromas of ripe dark fruit—such as blackberry and black plum—alongside warm spicy notes and subtle oak nuances. On the palate, it is well balanced, with generous fruit, rounded tannins and a pleasing mineral freshness that brings definition and lift to the finish. The 2016 vintage is drinking well now, with the oak and tannins integrated into the wine’s rich fruit profile. It should continue to develop over the next few years if stored in a cool, dark cellar, gaining further softness and complexity.

Production
Produced in the Montravel appellation, the wine reflects a terroir known for combining ripe fruit character with refreshing mineral tones. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness before fermentation and maturation in oak barrels for 18 months. The extended oak ageing contributes structure, spice and polish while preserving the wine’s balance and sense of freshness.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C. Its rounded tannins and dark-fruit character make it an excellent match for roast lamb, beef, venison, grilled or braised meats, and hearty mushroom dishes. Decant for approximately 30–60 minutes before serving, particularly if the bottle has been stored for some time, to allow the aromas to open and any sediment to settle.
