Their sunny, south-facing slopes yield wonderfully ripe grapes—Merlot lends velvety black plum character, Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine structure and cassis notes, and Cabernet Franc adds a complex earthy-spice character. Made in a smooth, meant-to-be-enjoyed-young style, Château Moulin du Prieur will shine alongside beef roasts, hearty pasta dishes or a plate of charcuterie and firm cheeses.
