Moulin-à-Vent AOP

France - Beaujolais

The Moulin-à-Vent is a blend of plots of land which have in common that they are on the very old mother rock of black granite, feldspars and schists of a very fine grain which confer a lot of subtlety and depth to the wine.

Grape variety:
100% Gamay.
Gravity harvesting, 10% whole grapes, vinification in rough concrete vats, 28-day maceration, 12-month ageing in stainless steel vats and 500-litre demi-muids in order to preserve both freshness and substance, indigenous yeasts. No carbonic or semi-carbonic maceration, nor thermovinification.

Tasting notes:
This wine has an almost black violet colour. The nose is very elegant with a beautiful palette of black fruits, black pepper and fine and varied spices. On the palate, this wine is both deep and very elegant. It offers complexity, density and a good length, relatively firm, with a splendid mid-palate and velvety blackberry notes of great purity. The finish is still restrained by a silky tannic structure, but without aggressiveness. This wine has great potential with a surprising bounce on the finish. The whole is airy and without the slightest rusticity. Velvet...
