Description
From four old-vine parcels surrounding the eponymous moulin, this is a delicious expression of Gamay. It’s made with whole bunches, with very gentle extraction, and raised in large oak foudre. This is peppery on the nose, with classic cherry and floral notes and some pleasing granite touches underneath. It’s supple, but with the dry finish of granite soil.

About this wine
Beaujolais
Beaujolais is almost entirely planted with the Gamay grape and produces mostly red wines. Around 70 million litres of Beaujolais are produced each year, or two-and-a-half times the entire wine production of the rest of Burgundy. More than half of this is sold as Beaujolais Nouveau, although an Aladdin's trove of gloriously satisfying wines exist amongst the 10 named village crus that occupy a 15-mile strip of granite hills to the north.
