100% Gamay. Deep ruby with a purple rim, showing lifted aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, crushed strawberry, violet florals, and subtle granite-like mineral tones with a hint of black tea and baking spice. The palate is structured and concentrated with crunchy red fruit, sour cherry, and a darker brambly edge emerging with air, supported by earthy undertones and a touch of spice. Medium-plus acidity drives freshness, while medium-plus tannin with a firm, fine-grained, slightly chalky grip gives real structure and ageability. Medium-plus body, medium-plus flavor intensity, and a long, linear finish marked by red fruit, floral lift, and mineral tension. Well-balanced and classically structured, this shows the more serious, structured side of Moulin-à-Vent with excellent clarity, grip, and aging potential.
Food Pairing: roast chicken, duck confit, grilled lamb, mushroom tart, charcuterie, pork tenderloin, lentil stew, soft aged cheeses
