Tasting notes
This vibrant Gamay features hues of garnet and crimson color. This Moulin à Vent impresses with its full-bodied notes of dark berries and spices, combined with its roasted aromas. The oak adds delicate grilled notes to this wine. It is full bodied and rich on the palate with great volume and opulence. Surprising nuances of Havana cigar and a subtle peppery aftertaste arouse curiosity. Already very pleasant to drink, this full bodied Moulin à Vent can be kept for several years. It goes wonderfully with red meats, roasted chicken or salmon.
Description

It was founded by the Blanc family in Cogny, in the heart of the lovely Pierres Dorées region, in the middle of the 18th century . Its name comes from a fountain (Fond or Font in French) that still supplies a local wash house. Beyond the beauty of the place and the quality of the terroirs, the family proudly carry on the richness of this history, deeply rooted in the Beaujolais area. Current owners Sylvie & Bertrand Neuschwander are both agricultural scientists. The magnificent Domaine Fond Moiroux on the Pierres Dorées hills instantly charms you. The estate embodies has everything Sylvie & Bertrand love: a vineyard with rich and varied parcels, stones steeped in history and an environmental philosophy matches their convictions.
