Description
The 2020 Moulin-à-Vent Les Brussellions has a much more backward, earthier nose than its peers. Maybe this is going through a sultry phase. The palate is a little stalky on the entry but fresh and has a strong salinity on the finish that I like. Give it 2-3 years in bottle.

A fine bright purple colour. The nose is a little meatier than Les Rouchaux, more clearly gamay from a noble terroir, without the elfin pinot note. Brussellions offers a notably greater weight of fruit. There are sufficient tannins, just enough acidity, and a very classical finish.
Clement, the son of Louis Boillot, is currently running the domaine. A famous name in the Côte d'Or, Boillot are also making excellent wines in the Beaujolais. 75-year-old vines with yields of 25hl/ha. 100% de-stemmed with punching down and pumping over. 18 months ageing in 500l oak no new) post-fermentation. One can sense the Burgundian influence. Crisp, precise palate and nose. Purity and drive, dark berry fruit and very subtle oak. Ultra-clean and modern - a delicious Moulin-à-Vent.
