Violets, red fruit, and jerky dominate the nose on this lovely Gamay from the Cru Beajolais village of Moulin-A-Vent. This wine has a real silky mouthfeel and some serious grip and acidity. #delicious

2021/12/15-16. This was a little flat and tight on opening, with oak showing, but with air some perfumed, wild fruit aromas broke through. A little stretched on the palate but quite enjoyable.
