The Château has been in the hands of the Couderc family for over one hundred years. Their thirty hectares of vineyards, though not situated on the prime slope below the town of St Emilion, avoid the sandy valley floor and lie on the other side of the valley facing the town. This Moulin de Mallet owes its quality to the painstaking work undertaken in the vineyard in recent years (short pruning, managed grass cover, restricted yields, green harvesting,integrated pest control), as well as the vinification techniques aimed at fostering extraction of the fruit and colour without too much tannin.
