The wine reveals a deep ruby color, a complex bouquet blending floral and spicy notes with red fruit aromas. The palate is full-bodied and dense, with good body and lingering flavors. Like some of the great Beaujolais wines, this Moulin à Vent comes close to the great wines of Burgundy or the Rhône Valley in its powerful yet elegant style and its ability to age well.
We're in southern Burgundy, in the Beaujolais region, and Moulin à Vent is considered the most "Burgundian" of the region's 10 crus, no doubt because of its ageing potential. Total surface area of the Appellation: 620 hectares in the villages of Romanèche-Thorins and Chénas. Our estate includes 1.8 hectares of Clos des Pérelles in Romanèche-Thorins. In the heart of the village, on a gentle, south-facing slope, the well-drained, manganese-rich, limonogranitic gray soils produce deep, dense wines with a slightly Rhone style.
