Château Moulin Caresse, Montravel 2019 White

Château Moulin Caresse’s 2019 Montravel Blanc is a polished, full-bodied white from southwest France, combining ripe fruit with subtle oak and a distinctive mineral finish. Its generous texture and layered structure make it an elegant example of the rich, gastronomic white wines associated with the Montravel appellation.

Tasting Notes
Bright pale yellow in appearance, this wine opens with inviting aromas of vanilla, toasted fruit and almond, complemented by delicate floral nuances. The palate is round and supple, yet impressively full and structured, with well-integrated oak adding depth rather than overpowering the fruit. Mineral notes emerge on the finish, which is persistent and refined. The wine is drinking well now, with its creamy texture and developed aromas showing the benefits of bottle age. Stored in good conditions, it should continue to evolve over the short to medium term, gaining further aromatic complexity while retaining its freshness.

Production
The wine is gently pressed before being settled for 24 hours, allowing the clean juice to be separated from heavier solids. Fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels, followed by 10 months of maturation on fine lees. This combination of careful extraction, barrel fermentation and lees ageing contributes to the wine’s rounded mouthfeel, toasted character and lasting structure. Specific grape varieties and detailed terroir information are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C. Its richness and mineral freshness make it a natural partner for roasted or grilled fish, shellfish in a creamy sauce, roast poultry, pork, and dishes featuring mushrooms or mild cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but opening the bottle 20–30 minutes before serving can allow the oak, floral and mineral aromas to develop more fully.

Château Moulin Caresse is a wine producer in the Montravel area of southwest France, a region known for structured, expressive white wines shaped by the influence of the Dordogne valley.
