Winery Château du Moulin Noir

The estate’s name recalls a local legend: a mill “blackened” after a fire, from which the name Moulin Noir is said to derive. Several retailers and technical datasheets online report that the property has grown over time by acquiring plots both in Lussac‑Saint‑Émilion and in Montagne‑Saint‑Émilion; some sources mention acquisitions and renovations beginning in the late 20th century. Some commercial pages note the historical presence of the Tessandier family, while other technical sheets describe more recent phases of expansion; the sources consulted are not entirely consistent regarding dates and ownership details.

Technical profiles and commercial sheets reveal an approach focused on fruit quality and sustainable vineyard practices: traditional winemaking on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, the use of wood ageing for the first wine, and vineyard management practices described as sustainable on some commercial sheets.

The estate is located in the northeastern part of the Saint‑Émilion area, with wines labeled under the AOCs Lussac‑Saint‑Émilion and Montagne‑Saint‑Émilion. According to sources, the soils are typically clay‑limestone, characteristic of the slopes and hillsides of these appellations.
