Château Gros Moulin is located at the entrance of Bourg/Gironde, an ancient town at the meeting point of the
Dordogne and Garonne rivers on the right side.
Situated on a slope in the centre of the Côtes de Bourg wine region, Château Gros Moulin is a family-owned vine
yard owned by the Eymas family since 1757. The name “Gros Moulin” (Big Mill) was fitting because the estate
used to be a mixed farm with a wheat-grinding mill in front of the family house. The mill was later transformed
into a tower by Georges Benaud, the present owner’s great-grandfather.
Over time, the vineyard of Château Gros Moulin expanded from 1 hectare in 1757 to 15 hectares in 1977 and now
spans over 30 hectares, including the Château Croûte-Mallard. The parcels of land selected for the estate were
carefully chosen to bring out the unique characteristics of the region’s terroir in the wine. Eleven generations of
the Eymas family have demonstrated their loyalty, passion, and love for vine and wine, reflected in their motto “…
per vitem, ad vitam” (…by vine, for life). The estate has an ideal south-facing exposure and is influenced by winds
that sweep across the first slope of the Côtes de Bourg, overlooking the Dordogne River. The Côtes de Bourg is
known as the “little Switzerland of Gironde” due to its diverse topography. Therefore, the vineyards of Château
Gros Moulin are planted in parcels with alternating clay and limestone, as well as sandy clay soils.
