The Capdemourlin family has owned this Saint-Emilion estate for over 400 years! Located on the appellation's northern slopes, the terroir consists of clay-limestone and sandy soil on an iron pan subsoil.

Over the past few years, the owners of this Grand Cru Classé (re-confirmed in the 2006 classification) have modernized their technical facilities, building a new aging cellar and vat room.

Apart from malolactic fermentation in barrel, winemaking is done traditionally. This generally results in classic wines that come together beautifully after a few years aging.

In the Bottle

After a low point in the late 90s, the quality of Château Cap de Mourlin's recent vintages proves that this winery is once again headed in the right direction.
