About this producer:
Included in the very first edition of the Guide Féret (1850) under the name “Puy de Minjon (Hugon)”, Château Anthonic is one of the oldest estates of the Appellation Moulis-en-Médoc. As a property of some standing, it was designated “Cru Bourgeois Supérieur” in the 1932 classification of the Crus Bourgeois of the Médoc.
Today the Château’s vineyards extend over some 30 hectares, mostly planted on the favourable clay-limestone soils of the Moulis plateau. These soils are complemented by parcels of sandy-clay and Garonne gravel which add complexity to this unique terroir.
Situated between Margaux and Saint Julien, Moulis-en-Médoc is one of the six communal appellations of the Médoc, a region situated to the North-west of Bordeaux that enjoys an international reputation for excellence.
Passionate since childhood about life in all its forms, Jean-Baptiste Cordonnier is enthralled by a deep bio-logical dynamic, that is to say that he draws his energy from the constant search for the «logic of bio(logy)».
Jean-Baptiste passed on his convictions to Théophile and to their team and translated them into the vineyard long before the organic conversion of Anthonic’s vines, which officially started in 2016.
Certified organic since the 2019 vintage, they build on this momentum and, in their concrete choices, go beyond the requirements of organic farming, firmly convinced of the benefits of agroecology and agroforestry.
