RED WINE

Ageing

10 months in 228-litres and 400-litres French oak barrels, 2 types of heating.

Background

Situated in Cogny, in the heart of the ochre landscapes of the Pierres Dorees, and with over 200 years of history, the Domaine Fond Moiroux extends over more than 16 hectares, certified High Environmental Value. Spread over three areas: Cogny, in the south of the Beaujolais region, the spearhead of our conversion to organic farming; Romaneche-Thorins, the heart of the Moulin a Vent appellation; and Quincie, where we produce our Brouilly wine. The Domaine Fond Moiroux's rich terroirs are ideal for bringing out the vast range of aromas of the grape varieties grown there, namely Gamay, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Tasting notes

This Windmill presents itself with a deep robe and violet reflections. The nose opens with a balanced blend of spicy notes, notably white pepper but also licorice, and stewed black fruits, such as blackberry, with hints of undergrowth adding to this complex and intense aromatic bouquet. The palate is generous, long, expressing ripe fruits, finishing with a controlled and elegant woody note. This wine is characterized by its balance and complexity; its tannic finesse allows us to appreciate it today, a few months in the cellar will enhance its complexity and elegance.

Terroir

Sandy soil covering shallow granitic scree with very low clay content in the of Romaneche-Thorins (71). Low vines mainly facing east and west.

Vinification

100% de-stemmed, traditional vinification. Thermoregulated fermentation for 22 to 25 days for slow extraction and full expression of the aromas.
