The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Anchored in a top-tier terroir, Domaine Labruyère dominates the finest plots of Moulin-à-Vent. With the guidance of Nadine Gublin, the winemaker from the renowned Burgundian house Jacques Prieur - a name consistently met with the highest accolades from critics - the wines achieve unparalleled excellence and depth, particularly evident in the exceptional 2020 vintage.
Wine Supported by one of the most outstanding vintages of the decade, the 2020 Red Moulin-à-Vent Hommage is both substantial and classy. At this price point, it's a delightful achievement: a nose bursting with ripe, shimmering fruit, evoking violet and rose, raspberries, and fresh cherries. The palate is just as captivating, full-bodied and smooth, presenting a fresh, juicy, and refined wine with silky tannins. A marvel that balances concentration and lightness, it's already incredibly approachable but also suitable for aging for those who can wait. Outstanding. Rated 95/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Hand-harvested, totally de-stemmed, alcoholic fermentation in concrete vats, aged for 14 months in oak barrels and demi-muids, then in concrete vats for 6 months.
