Description

rFeaturesrThis wine is a blend made from our eight great terroirs of Moulin-A-Vent : Rochegrès, Carquelin, Champ de Cour, Thorins les Vérillats, La Roche, la Rochelle and Les Caves. The pink granite soils are different from one vineyard to another and show various depths, alterations and exposures.rrrVinificationrPicked and sorted by hand, and often de-stemmed, the grapes macerate slowly over the course of three or four weeks. Both pigeage and pumping take place during the fermentation period depending on the vintage characteristics.rrrWinemaking and bottlingrThe wines are aged for 10 months in concrete tank and in oak barrels, in our historic cellar. The oak used to make the barrels comes from the forests of Allier, Limousin and Nivernais.rrrTasting / Food pairingrRich and powerful, these wines display the essence of their appellation with elegant fruit, supple tannins and freshness. This wine will be a good companion to all sorts of dishes: meat, fish, cheese, vegetables etc …rrrPreservationrThis Moulin-A-Vent needs two or three years to reach its harmony, and can then age easily for several decades. Vintages such as 2009, 2005, 1999, 1985 or even 1976 are delicious today.rrrVintager2023 Vintage is one of these “unexpected” great vintages : between its slow and quite challenging beginnings in spring, through a summer of successive heat waves, alternating with rainstorms and cooler days, it delivers now wines of an incredible balance between aromatic ripeness and elegant freshness.r
