Wine Reviews
Spicy and minerally, with aromas of pears, grilled lemons, smoked herbs, white pepper and a flinty undertone. The clean and crisp palate shows a medium body, a sleek, polished texture and crunchy acidity. Flavorful and textural.
The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py presents a Northern Rhône-inspired nose, with layered aromas of soy sauce, orange zest, licorice, baking spices and a hint of delicate floral petals. On the palate, these intricate flavors intertwine and intensify, creating a compact and concentrated profile.
Full-bodied and with bright acidity, the wine is sappy with black-fruited flavors, toned and lifted by hints of white pepper and a touch of salt, especially noticeable on the finish. The tannins are sizable yet well-spaced, contributing to the wine’s considerable depth.
The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent La Roche reveals aromas of orange liqueur, stewed cherries and crushed rose petals. Full-bodied and generous on the palate, it opens with rounded volume before smooth, compact tannins add structure.
The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent Clos du Grand Carquelin opens with aromas of kirsch, chocolate, dried rose petals and toasted oak spice. The palate reveals a sappy concentration of fruit, with a broad-shouldered attack that leans out into an incisive, vertical progression, commanded by its many smooth but compact tannins.
