About the winemaker

Château Grand Moulin is located in the picturesque Lézignan-Corbières, some 30 km west of the Mediterranean Sea. For over 40 years, father and son Bousquet have selected and planted more than 200 plots of land, in order to optimally draw on the diversity of terroirs of Corbières. The cellars and winery are located in a striking building in the heart of the city of Lézignan-Corbières. The Corbières massif is an extension of the Pyrenees, located between Carcassonne and the Mediterranean Sea. The vineyards of Château Grand Moulin are located here in the Lézignan valley, an extremely windy corridor, wedged between the Montagne Noire and the Corbières massif. Here the wind blows more than 300 days a year and the dominant westerly wind (called 'Cers') evaporates the morning dew and thus contributes to the microclimate that is particularly healthy for viticulture. The vineyards are cultivated sustainably.
