Château Cap de Mourlin
Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
FAMILLE CAPDEMOURLIN
The Capdemourlin family has owned vineyards in Saint-Emilion for four centuries, as attested by a wine sales contract dating from 1647. In an unusual departure from practices at the time, this document mentions the place name of the vineyard and the name of the wine, one of the oldest in Saint-Emilion.
A STORY
In few words
In 1983, Jacques Capdemourlin, the present owner, reunited the estate. He also undertook a major renovation in order to introduce modern techniques to ferment and age the wine, including installing a vat room, airconditioned area for malolactic fermentation and barrel ageing cellar.
The 14-hectare estate is ideally located on slopes north of the town of Saint-Emilion, where it benefits from a clay-limestone and clay-siliceous terroir. Château Cap de Mourlin wine is both generous and extremely elegant, with a very expressive bouquet. It is one of the most highly-reputed wines of Saint-Emilion
