Moulis is the smallest appellation in the Haut-Medoc and it has 1,700 acres under vine spread amongst 53 Chateaux. The commune is tucked next to Listrac, to the west of the Gironde River on the Left Bank of Bordeaux.

Moulis is packed with quality producers that make good quantities of wine. Indeed 14 Cru Bourgeois chateaux own more than 60% of the commune's vineyards. Gravel and clay dominate the vineyards and their position slightly to the west of the glamor appellations on the river make for a slightly cooler climate.

The resultant Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated wines tend to be firm and age very well. Moulis provides many of the best values in the Haut-Medoc, with estates such as Poujeaux and Chasse Spleen leading the way. (Wine/Appellations)
