Wine:

The 2023 Red Moulin-à-Vent, crafted from the estate’s finest vines, including a portion from the Greneriers climat, is a remarkable achievement. Sourced from 60-year-old vines rooted in deep granite soils, with 70% whole-cluster fermentation, this wine strikes a delightful balance—dense, vibrant, and bursting with freshness. This dynamic Gamay offers fine tannins and notes of raspberry, cherry, and violet, delivering both elegance and richness. A precise and fruity wine with great aging potential, rated 94-96/100 by our Selection Committee.

Hand harvested, low yields: 35hl/ha, whole grapes vinified for 80% of the crop.
