Chateau Moulin de la Bridane, Cuvee Clos du Meunier, is the second wine of Chateau La Bridane, a family-run estate for 300 years, located on deep Garonnaise gravel soils in the famous Saint-Julien sub-region of Bordeaux.  The wine is named after the mill belonging to Abbot Bridane in the late 1700s. It is a varied blend of 45% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, in an area that usually majors on Cabernet Sauvignon. It spends 9 months in oak barriques, of which 20% are new. The current owner, Bruno Saintout seeks a style that has both power and elegance.

Being one of the rare estates in Saint-Julien that is not a classified growth, its wines represent great value for money, especially in the best vintages such as 2015.
