Les Michelons Moulin-à-Vent Gamay



On opening, nose is reticent, but the flavors pop. Incredibly bright, deep cherry-berry fruit, with intense crushed stone dust minerality and mouthwatering acids. Tannins are there but super-fine and soft. Wow. Moulin-a-Vent is usually not one of my favorites Beaujo villages but this is crazy good. Will update as it takes on air to report on the the nose.
UPDATE: One hour later, nose showing up, with deep, zesty fruit and cracked stone.

Incredible depth, flavor and extraction. Damn.

Still holding strong, lovely deep edges to this wine, dark fruit and acid still there but softening I’d drink up over next couple of years but great to see how this drank with age

This is so good - low, velvety tannin with raspberry, strawberry, cherry, plum, forest floor, blackberry, and dried rose petal. Violet and earthy notes on a long finish. Medium acidity, this is an elegant food wine. Great value and so enjoyable to drink
