Overview
Located on a plateau overlooking the Valley of the Island and next to the Pomerol and Saint-Emilion Calls, the Château Tour du Moulin is a former family estate, taken over in 1987 by Josette Dupuch and her son Vincent, then responsible for experiments at the Chamber of Agriculture of Gironde for 15 years. The new team is dedicated to restoring all its past splendour to a vineyard that has reached 8.5 hectares over the years.
Today as a consultant winemaker, Vincent Dupuch fully exercises his passion for wine and continues to improve the quality of this vintage, as he does for other famous properties.
