About this product

Polished. Velvety. A classic Right Bank Bordeaux with quiet confidence.
From the rolling limestone hills just north of Saint-Émilion comes Château Grand Moulin Macquin, a wine that captures the elegance and heritage of Bordeaux’s Right Bank. Montagne Saint-Émilion, one of the satellite appellations surrounding the world-famous Saint-Émilion, is celebrated for producing wines that balance generosity with finesse — and this cuvée is a perfect example.

Crafted predominantly from Merlot, with touches of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it delivers supple fruit, refined structure, and a silky finish that speaks of its terroir. Expect ripe plum and blackberry layered with notes of spice, cedar, and a gentle earthiness. The tannins are smooth and integrated, making this both approachable in its youth and capable of short-term ageing.

In Ireland, where Bordeaux continues to hold a timeless place at the table, this Montagne Saint-Émilion is a welcome companion for Sunday roasts, festive dinners, or quiet evenings by the fire. It’s Bordeaux at its most inviting — classic, generous, and elegant without being overpowering.

Why we love it:
This is what great Bordeaux should be: rich but refined, polished but honest. Château Grand Moulin Macquin stands out for its balance—dark fruit, minerality, and soft oak seamlessly integrated. It's a quietly luxurious bottle, ideal for weeknight indulgence or elegant entertaining. A Right Bank sleeper hit.

  • Merlot

Colour
Deep ruby with vibrant garnet reflections and impressive clarity.

Nose
Fragrant and layered, with ripe blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, followed by hints of graphite, violets, forest floor, and sweet baking spice.

Palate
Silky and supple on entry, unfolding into plush dark fruit flavours laced with toasted oak, fine-grained tannins, and a subtle saline edge. The finish is long and balanced, with fresh acidity and lingering notes of mocha and spice.

With its ripe fruit and silky tannins, Château Grand Moulin Macquin pairs beautifully with both classic and contemporary cuisine:

  • Slow-cooked lamb shoulder or roast beef with thyme jus
  • Duck breast with blackberry reduction
  • Lentil stew with smoked paprika and roasted root vegetables
  • Hard cheeses like aged Comté, Cantal, or Ossau-Iraty
  • Mushroom wellington or aubergine parmigiana for a vegetarian match

12–14 months in oak barrels and concrete vats for complexity and freshness.

Château Grand Moulin Macquin is part of the extended family of Bordeaux estates linked to Château Pavie-Macquin, though its focus is accessibility rather than grandeur. Located just northeast of the historic village of Saint-Émilion, the estate is guided by a philosophy that prioritises vine health, low-intervention cellar practices, and terroir expression. Year after year, it delivers wines that reflect the elegance and richness of the region without the price tag of its more famous neighbours.
