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.

16.5 Good nose and fruit, M length, quaffable but without the power one can find in MaV.

Beautiful purple / garnet color. Fine and complex nose, fruity and floral: peony rose. Deep on the palate, somewhere between a beefy Burgundy Pinot Noir and a Syrah from Rhone-Nord; to be mistaken. At first glance discreet, the finish reveals itself on tender and finely persistent tannins. The whole is very homogeneous and dense. A wine with a Burgundy style, delicate, which will be able to age for a number of years.
Belle robe pourpre/grenat. Nez fin et complexe, fruité et floral: rose pivoine. Bouche profonde, quelque part entre un pinot noir bourguignon et une Syrah du Rhone-Nord; à s’y méprendre. La finale de prime abord discrète, se révèle sur des tanins tendres et finement persistants. L’ensemble et très homogène et dense. Un vin au style bourguignon, délicat, qui pourra encore vieillir pas mal d’années.
