Château Tour du Moulin is an old estate, revived in 1987 by Josette Dupuch and her son Vincent. Vincent is a highly respected consultant oenologist who is well known for working at some of the biggest name Right Bank estates. (He's too discreet to say but it is suggested he is involved at Ausone and Petrus amongst others!) This was an absolute joy and stood out in quite a long line up of options at a recent tasting. Real freshness and purity, elegant with great delivery of plum and cassis fruit, complex tobacco and tea notes. It was the finesse and supple line of this wine that really wowed us. L&S (Oct 2025)

The 2022 Tour du Haut Moulin has a precocious bouquet with black cherries and cassis fruit, crushed violets emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe entry, fine acidity, quite citrus-fresh with hints of blood orange toward its live wire, tensile finish. Plenty of energy here. Bon vin. Drinking range: 2026 - 2042 Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2023)
Château Tour du Moulin
Château Tour du Moulin is an old estate, revived in 1987 by Josette Dupuch and her son Vincent. Vincent is a highly respected consultant oenologist who is well known for working at some of the biggest name Right Bank estates. (He's too discreet to say but it is suggested he is involved at Ausone and Petrus amongst others!) He is certainly a great friend of winemaker Denis Durantou of L'Eglise Clinet fame. At his 'home' estate Vincent is passionate about restoring Fronsac to the high acclaim it historically held. Since taking over the original 1 hectare property in 1987 he has been buying up the best plots of vines that he can find and his 28 different parcels now add up to 8.5 Hectares. All on a diverse array of soil types. He likes to think that terroir is paramount and that wines are really made in the vineyards, so place is crucial and this is a brilliant site. Techniques such as severe pruning, bud thinning, leaf thinning and green harvesting are all used to maximise the quality of the fruit he's growing and the results here are electric.
2025 CHRISTMAS RED BORDEAUX MIXED CASE
Nothing says Christmas quite like Claret. It's a tradition as fundamental to the British festive table as the roast itself a love affair that goes back centuries as the perfect, savoury partner to a hearty winter feast.
But in a world of endless choice, how do you find a Claret that truly delivers? That's our job. We've built this case as a modern tribute to that grand tradition, a 12-bottle box of wonders, packed with insider secrets and unbelievable value. This is your Christmas Claret, sorted.
We've covered all the bases:
For the Classicist: We've got the 2016 Château Fourcas Borie from the star-studded 2016 vintage, a superb wine from the stable of Bruno Borie (of Ducru-Beaucaillou). Alongside it, the 2014 Château Tronquoy-Lalande, made by the exact same team as Château Montrose and a beautiful, classic St Estèphe that is drinking perfectly now.
The Right Bank Bargain: The 2021 Château Montaiguillon is simply a standout bargain. The talented winemaker, Mathieu Ternault, even worked a summer in our Chelsea shop! It's elegant and, as Victoria Moore says, 'unfolds like swags of crimson... velvet'.
The Insider's Secret: Want the wine the 'insiders' drink? The 2022 Château Tour du Moulin comes from Vincent Dupuch , a quiet consultant for giants like Petrus, Ausone, and Lafleur. This is his own estate , and it's all about finesse and a supple line.
The Modern & The Plush: We've included the 2019 Clos Manou, a garage wine story that has become super plush, (Neal Martin just called it "Yummy"). Plus, the 2019 Les Tours de Beaumont, the second wine of Château Beaumont, which is owned by the same team as Château Beychevelle.
This is the one box you need for a very Claret Christmas.
