Château des Jacques Clos du Grand Carquelin Moulin-à-Vent Gamay

Confrerie Des Chevaliers du Tastevin Sous-Commanderie d'Albany, Annual Pauleé Dinner; 30 September 2018 at Vintage House NY, Albany, NY

Nice wine. Typical of a solid Gamay.

My favorite of the Cru Beaujolais and a love affair I've had ever since I first tasted M-A-V with age to it.

Not a loud bimbo that'll blind you for one night but rather an interesting soft-spoken, well-mannered girl with secrets and someone you'd want to have by your side and enjoy for the rest of your days.

Did I mention that I love Moulin-À-Vent...??

Solid cru Beaujolais but missing a little . . . soul.

Best Beaujolais so far!

Fades quick in the mouth with a banana note that is unpleasant. Still, some terroir here.

A pattern for all Moulin a Vent. Red berries tart and luscious with balanced acidity.

Enjoy this wine. Bright red cherry nose, cherry and plummy base [sort of like a cabernet (also cab-like body)]. Little brighter than yesterday's wine and slightly more tannin but less minerality. I like both but perhaps this one slightly less than yesterday's. This probably needs a cheese or pasta pairing.

2015. This is a very tasty wine.
