Domaine Anita
Tres Vieilles Vigne Les Caves Moulin-à-Vent Gamay
Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
This is Anita Kuhnel’s “Trés Vieille Vigne” from Les Caves in Moulin à Vent.
Popped and poured, enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2022 “Les Caves - Trés Vieille Vigne” pours a deep purple color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe black fruit: blackberries, violets, licorice, minerals and dry rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and mineral laden. A powerful wine showing the structure of Moulin à Vent. I would describe this as leaning towards the Burgundian side of the Beaujolais spectrum and it’s a wonderful example; totally true to its place. Drinking well now and should gain complexity and drink well through 2037.

Darker color than the Fleurie, more dark fruited, on the one hand still grapey fruit, but accompanied by some good tannic structure and fine balancing acidity, much more youthful than the Fleurie as well, lingering finish, should continue to evolve for another 2-3 years, at least.
