This very dark ruby colored Gamay from the Moulin-à-Vent commune opens with a potting soil and raspberry bouquet with hints of violet and a touch of banana. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round, voluptuous, generous, and very bright. The flavor profile is a red currant and loam blend with notes tart cherry and oolong tea. I also did detect some hints of red plum and banana in the aftertaste. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity are nicely extended.
This wine pairs concentration and minerality. Black fruit predominates on the nose with raspberry, blackberry, umami and dried black cherry. The wine is grippy in texture and is supported by taut tannins through to the long finish. Drink now and from 2026 onwards to see the wine benefit from age in bottle.
The 2022 Moulin-à-Vent has a sapid, marine-tinged bouquet, hints of shucked oyster shell infusing the dark berry fruit. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly furry tannins, spicier than the Morgon, with a little more edginess and pepperiness on the finish. Very fine.
Minerally and savory Moulin-a-Vent showing wet stone, bark, strawberry and rosemary aromas. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and elegant with fine-grained tannins. Excellent length. Drink or hold.
Ripe, juicy and full of black fruits, this is a full-bodied wine. It is an amalgam of grapes from different parts of the Moulin-à-Vent vineyard, giving fruit and structure in abundance.
