Tasting notes
A deep color with an intense nose of red and black fruits, blackberries, blackcurrants, with a subtle note of spice. The mouth is ample and the tannins are silky and polished with a beautiful length. Nice aromas of black fruits with a delicate finish on the cacao.
Winemaking
Traditional vinification with controlled temperature.
Description
The boundaries of Moulin-a-Vent were marked out as early as 1924. The vineyard has shallow sandy soils derived from the underlying granite which is rich in manganese. This kind of terroir gives much substance and the resulting wines are often compared to their Burgundian cousins of the Côte d'Or. Moulin-a-Vent can be cellared for several years.
