CHATEAU MOULIN DE LA ROSE

HISTORICAL : Half of the estate’s name is probably due to the former presence of a mill, and the other half seems to be linked with a knight named Chevalier Larose, who owned the neighbouring great growth, Château Gruaud Larose, in the 18th century.

Acquired in 1971 by Guy Delon, Château Moulin de la Rose is now managed by their children, Jean-François (Technical Director) and Guylène (Administrative Director).

A small enclave among the classified growths of Saint-Julien with just 5 hectares of vines surrounded by grand crus classés. Château Moulin de la Rose is nicknamed the “Lilliputian of Saint-Julien”. The estate has a homogeneous terroir with some of the best gravelly soil in Saint-Julien.
