Really nice! Fruit and well balanced, smooth and even better the second day if it lasts that long. VINOP

The 2016 Moulin-à-Vent comes across as a more subdued version of the 2015. It has tons of richness and power, but at the same time, it is bright, delineated and full of energy. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, white pepper, mint and spice all meld together effortlessly. Even with all of its obvious intensity, the 2016 retains striking translucence. There is plenty of potential here. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2020)

The 2015 Moulin-à-Vent is a real showstopper. A burst of dark cherry, spice, leather, menthol, licorice and leather literally races out of the glass. The 2015 is an atypically rich Moulin-à-Vent, but all the elements are so well balanced. It has serious depth and the intensity to age for many years. I would not touch a bottle soon.

Gorgeous 2015 bottling. Notes of currant, cherry and herbs. Well-structured wine. Look forward to putting down the other bottles for a bit.

Solid cru Beaujolais from a terrific producer... didn't notice the vintage on this until after purchase, but this one is still drinking well. Nice mineral, muted fruit nose compared to newer releases, but still delicious.
