Château Moyau is situated on a fertile slope directly on the coast between Saint-Pierre-la-Mer and Les Cabanes de Fleury.
Château Moyau was mentioned in documentation as early as 1792. The wine-growing tradition in this coastal region, however, can be traced back much further, because winemaking was already practiced here in ancient Roman times and the wines were highly sought after across the Roman Empire.
The great tradition of this winery is both an obligation and an incentive for us. We put our passion for wines into practice with contemporary cultivation methods and state-of-the-art cellar technology.
When we meet at Moyau, you will experience our enthusiasm for unique wines with their genuine character. Be prepared to enjoy, not only some of the best wines in France, but on the entire planet!
OUR WINES
Cru wines:
“Les Grands Vin De Chateau Moyau”
L’Unique
L’Unique is made from Bourboulenc and Grenache Blanc grapes. The vines, up to 40 years old, are located on our best plots. The wine is vinified in egg tanks and aged for six months in wooden barrels, which gives it a high density and aromatic intensity. In the glass it has a golden yellow color with silver reflections. It shows a bouquet of white flowers, exotic fruits, vanilla and almonds. Smooth on the palate, it impresses with a fine spicy fruit, a touch of minerality and with flavors of citrus, apricot and white peach with subtly integrated tannins.
Sublime
Our Top Rosé is a blend of 30% Grenache Noir, 30% Cinsault, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre. It presents itself with a light pink color with amber shimmer, shiny and silver with reflections. It pleases the nose with notes of strawberry cream, blackcurrant, violet, peach, grapefruit, citrus and white flowers. These are complemented by light toasted notes. On the palate, the Sublime is full-bodied with lots of freshness and sweetness, round, delicate, a light structure, nice bitterness, complex and long-lasting. Fragrant notes of red fruits, coconut and spices complete the taste experience.
1792
A 95% Grenache Noir based wine that beautifully expresses the fruit and structure of the grape variety. The vines for this wine are up to 100 years old and the wine itself was aged for over two years in a large wooden barrel. Already the presentation in the glass, with its dark, almost black coloration, announces harmonious notes of dark berries, paired with cherry aromas. The wine is perfected by elegantly integrated wood tones, which reveal themselves in the form of tobacco notes, dark roasted aromas and a slight hint of dark chocolate.
