Moulin-a-Vent
| The boundaries of Moulin-à-Vent were marked out as early as 1924. The vineyard has shallow sandy soils derived from the underlying granite which is rich in manganese. This kind of terroir gives much substance and the resulting wines are often compared to their Burgundian cousins of the Côte d'Or. Moulin-à-Vent can be cellared for several years. | |

| Tasting note |
Intense and complex aromas of black fruits are expressive on the nose of this Moulin à Vent. This is a characterful wine with beautiful concentration and supple tannins.

Profile (Sheffield), Richard Marsden, December 2013'A very smooth, jammy wine with toasty notes, blackcurrant and strawberrries on the palate and smooth tannins. Juicy and tasty with a silky, long-lasting flavour.' Western Mail, Neil Cammies, 22nd March 2014'...The rich black cherry fruit has a little spice across the top notes. On the palate quite earthy entry to the lively fruit, with the charging acidity and the softest whisper of tannins.' |
