This week I finish up the communal appellations of the Médoc for our "Greats of Bordeaux" series with Moulis!  Map: Wines of the Médoc     Although the communes of Moulis and Listrac are often seen as one in the same because both are inland and neither is adjacent to the Gironde River/Estuary, this grouping is a mistake.   The wines of Moulis, especially from the Grand Poujeaux plateau next to Margaux, can rival or exceed the quality of the wines from the big name communes on the river -- Margaux, St-Julien, Pauillac, and Saint-Estèphe. Moulis is varied and not all the wines grow on the top terroir, but those that do make exquisite, ageworthy wines that are undervalued. Châteaux like Poujeaux, Chasse Spleen, and Maucaillou make top wines for relatively low prices.            I spend most of the show on Moulis but also cover Listrac. Listrac, in my mind is not one of "The Greats" but it is historic and important. I review the commune and try to point out some of the main reasons I think Moulis and Listrac are so very different, with Moulis earning top billing over Listrac.   This is the final in the Médoc Greats! We have covered Margaux, Saint Julien, Pauillac, Saint Estèphe, and now Moulis. We will move to Graves and Pessac-Leognan next, before ending where we began this series, on the Right Bank!    Enjoy!!      Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Become a member today!</a> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople" target= "_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople</a> _______________________________________________________________   <a href="https://www.wineaccess.com/normal" target="_blank" rel= "noopener"></a> <a href="http://www.wineaccess.com/wfnp" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.</a>  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!
