small domain produces several Cru Beaujolais from it 10.5 hectare, organically farmed vineyard. Among the appellation’s 10 Beaujolais Crus, Moulin a Vent is the one that always seems to me to age the best. This 2019 is just coming together and will drink well over the next several years. Made by traditional vinification practices, it is deep in color with effusive aromas of dark berries and currants. Smooth and round on the palate, it is elegant in style with a mix of cherry, spice, and earthy flavors. Nicely balanced with soft tannins, it finishes on a long youthful note.
