  • Château Milon is the sister property of Clos de la Cure owned by the Bouyer family who have operated the winery for eight generations.
  • A portion of the vines for Cuvée Caprice are situated at the base of the Saint Christophe des Bardes slope and the rest lie on the gravel soils of Saint Sulpice.
  • Château Milon Cuvée Caprice is a beautiful, early-drinking red Bordeaux that is an exceptional value from St Emilion that truly overdelivers!

In the capable hands of Alexia and Pierre Bouyer, along with their son Louis who joined the Domaine in 2024, the estates of Clos de la Cure and Château Milon represent eight generations of viticultural heritage. With the purchase of 4.5 additional hectares in 2008, situated on superb gravel terroir, the estate is now comprised of 18 hectares of vineyards.

A portion of the vines for Château Milon’s Cuvée Caprice are situated at the base of the Saint Christophe des Bardes slope and the rest lie on the gravel soils of Saint Sulpice. While the average vine age is 30 years, it is believed that vines were planted on the plateau in the Middle Ages. The vineyards are densely planted at 6600-9000 vines per hectare on a diverse array of soils dominated by sand, sandstone clay and gravel. The Bouyer family farms ecologically with great respect for the Grand Cru terroir.  For this commitment, the estate has earned the demanding Haute Valeur Environnementale certification, one of the first in Saint Emilion to do so.

Château Milon's Cuvée Caprice is composed of 100% Merlot vinified in concrete tank with punch downs and 2-3 weeks of post-fermentation maceration.  It is then transferred to barrel for 6 months of aging.  We are thrilled to represent this exceptional value in red Bordeaux that truly overdelivers!
