CHÂTEAU MOULIN DES RICHARDS

Wine has been a passion for my family since 1772. Our ancestors were winegrowers and grew some of the historical plots of vines. In 1956, my grand-father Gilbert Dupuy and grand-mother Huguette Gautrat got married and combined their vineyards. In 1998, my father Joël Dupuy took over and became the winery’s manager. He expanded and modernised the vineyard. Since 2010, it is my turn to perpetuate the wine passion of our family by bringing some new ideas coming from my experiences abroad.
