One of the six communes (alongside Listrac-Médoc, Margaux, Pauillac, Saint-Estèphe and Saint-Julien) within the French region of Médoc (Haut-Médoc) that are appellations in their own right and are allowed to bear the commune name on the bottle label. The name (also Moulis-en-Médoc) is derived from the many wind and water mills that used to operate here. The vineyards cover around 600 hectares of vines.

The area forms a twelve kilometre long and up to two kilometre wide strip running from south-west to north-east between Margaux and Saint-Julien. The predominant soil consists of deposited gravel on a sandy clay layer. The area lies somewhat further back from the Gironde and is therefore at risk of frost due to the weaker temperature equalisation caused by the river.
