Opaque ruby. Powerful cherry and blackberry aromas pick up smoky mineral and floral qualities as the wine opens up. Weighty, in the manner of the vintage, but showing very good energy as well, offering gently sweet black currant, cherry and violet pastille flavors that firm up slowly on the back half. Dusty tannins come in late on the finish, which hangs around with suave floral and spice notes. This wine is quite civilized both for the appellation and for the vintage. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, October 2019)

The PERFECT Thanksgiving wine! Bursting with cranberry and raspberry at the front, followed by violets, green herbs and a touch of spicy cinnamon and pink peppercorn on the smooth finish. This wine was a perfect compliment to sage stuffing, turkey, roasted brussels and clove infused cranberry sauce.

This benchmark domaine’s entry-level Moulin-à-Vent displays deep cherry and dark berry character, along with the power and structure that defines the appellation. The 2017 is fruit-forward and a bit of air brings out vibrant mineral and floral qualities while taming its youthful tannins. $24.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, September 2019)

All beaujolais berry fruit up front before a firm, tannic, chalky finish dominates the palate, indicating longevity and seriousness. A brooding wine relative to beaujolais.
