Moulis

This is the smallest of the six Médoc communes but boasts a wide variety of soils and terroirs. It is one of the two communal appellations located on the Atlantic side of the Médoc. It is located directly south of Listrac and even though its adjoins Margaux, the Médoc appellation with the highest number of crus classé châteaux, there are none here.

In the context of the Médoc, Moulis is hilly country, studded with a diversity of gravels, limestone and clay.  These are sturdy wines, but the best are capable of considerable longevity and often seductively perfumed. Generally they have more power than Margaux wines but they have less finesse and elegance.
