Moulin à Vent is known for its power, structure and longevity, the antithesis of what most people think of when they think of Beaujolais. We are lucky that the Barbet’s like to hold onto this wine and release it when it’s just beginning to open up. It’s made in open top, oak tronconical (tronconique) vats and it’s aged in barrels and large foudres for a year. Beautiful aromatics with notes of violets, juicy cherry and supple tannins with structure.
