About this wine
Chateau du Moulin-à-Vent dates back to 1732 and gave its name to the appellation when it was created in 1936. The estate has 37 hectares of vines across the appellation’s finest terroirs on mostly granitic soils rich in iron oxide, copper and manganese. This wine is 100% Gamay from five of the best sites in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation made using vines planted mostly in the 1960s and earlier at high density (10,000 vines per hectare) with yields limited to 27hl/ha.
This estate is emblematic. When the Moulin-à-Vent appellation was created in 1936 it took its name from the windmill that overlooks the vineyards
Hand-harvested grapes are cold-soaked for three weeks before fermentation with 20% whole bunches. Pumping over and some pigeage (foot-stomping) aid extraction and contribute roundness and finesse. 40% of the wine is aged in mostly used, medium-toast Allier and Vosges oak for 18 months. The wine is noted for smoothness and fruit-oak harmony - richness and energy.

Expert Review
Ned Goodwin MW
2020 is the finest vintage in some time. A return to a plinth of classicism without any forfeit of ripeness. Bing cherry, violet and cocoa nib. Immaculate poise between mid-weighted concentration, lip-smacking freshness and a clench of reductive tension. I'd love to see this in five years.
