The 2001 Château Moulin Haut-Laroque is an expressive Bordeaux from the Fronsac appellation that perfectly reflects the finesse and structure of this rather classic vintage. 2001 produced wines that are not as powerful as the 2000 vintage, but impress with their elegance, balance, and great aging potential.

The wine is a deep ruby ​​red in color, showing slight signs of aging over time. The bouquet is complex and delicate, characterized by aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as cherries, currants, and blackberries. These fruity notes are accompanied by hints of spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, as well as delicate toasted notes from aging in oak barrels. Subtle hints of tobacco, leather, and a fine minerality underscore the wine's complexity.

On the palate, the Château Moulin Haut-Laroque 2001 presents a medium to full body and an elegant structure. The tannins are well-integrated and soft, giving the wine a fine texture. The fruit is ripe and harmonious, supported by a lively acidity that gives the wine freshness and a pleasant balance. Notes of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and a light earthiness complement the flavor profile, providing depth and complexity.

The finish is long and refined, with a lingering aftertaste of fresh fruit and a hint of spice. The Château Moulin Haut-Laroque 2001 is ideally ready to drink now, but could also age for a few more years to develop additional nuances.

This wine pairs perfectly with elegant dishes such as lamb chops, roast veal, or aged cheeses. It offers a balanced and refined drinking experience that impressively showcases the strengths of this classic vintage and the potential of the Fronsac terroir.
