Château Tour du Haut Moulin has been owned by the esteemed Pitou family since they first purchased the estate in 1870. Today, the estate continues to be managed by a direct descendant of the original founder, Louis Pitou, maintaining the family’s long-standing tradition of winemaking excellence. The estate spans 32 hectares and is planted with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. With vines averaging 25 years of age, the vineyard benefits from a mature structure that consistently produces concentrated and elegant fruit. The terroir consists of gravel, sand, and clay soils, providing excellent drainage and mineral richness, which is essential for crafting age-worthy Bordeaux wines prized by collectors and investors alike. The vineyard is located inland within the Haut-Médoc appellation, encompassing the communes of Fort-Médoc and Cussac, and is conveniently positioned near Château Beaumont, between the prestigious Saint-Julien and Margaux appellations. This strategic location gives Château Tour du Haut Moulin a unique advantage, combining the classic characteristics of Haut-Médoc with proximity to some of Bordeaux’s most renowned terroirs. Vinification at Château Tour du Haut Moulin is conducted in traditional, temperature-controlled cement tanks, with malolactic fermentation also taking place in cement vats. The wines are then aged for 12 to 15 months in 30% new French oak barrels, allowing for optimal integration of tannins and a complex structure. The resulting wines are typically dense, old-fashioned clarets in style, rewarding collectors and investors who appreciate wines capable of long-term ageing and development. In addition to the flagship wine, the estate produces a second label, Florilège de Tour du Haut-Moulin, offering an accessible yet high-quality expression of the estate’s style. On average, Château Tour du Haut Moulin produces close to 15,000 cases per vintage, making it an attractive option for investors seeking limited-production, high-quality Bordeaux wines. With its combination of historic provenance, structured terroir, and classic vinification methods, Château Tour du Haut Moulin continues to be a sought-after estate for fine wine collectors and investors worldwide.
