About this product
Polished. Velvety. A classic Right Bank Bordeaux with quiet confidence.
From the rolling limestone slopes of Montagne-Saint-Émilion, Château Grand Moulin Macquin delivers a sophisticated and beautifully poised red that captures the essence of Bordeaux’s Right Bank—Merlot-led plushness balanced by the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a wine that confidently punches above its weight, offering layers of complexity and refinement at an accessible price point.
The estate’s 35-year-old vines grow in clay-limestone soils, similar to neighbouring Saint-Émilion, which lend depth and minerality to the fruit. Careful vineyard management, sustainable farming (HVE certified), and precision winemaking result in a wine that is both expressive and age-worthy. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity, then aged 12–14 months in oak barrels and concrete vats, Grand Moulin Macquin shows the harmony of modern elegance and classic tradition.
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.

Tasting notes
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.
Food pairing
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

About the producer
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.
