Chateau Du Moulin À Vent Moulin-a-Vent Gamay 2018

Chateau Moulin-a-Vent is an historic estate centered in this eponymous Beaujolais cru that holds some of the most distinguished vineyards in the area. The region is known for producing some of the longest-lived wines in all of Beaujolais, a trait that is generally chalked up to the unusually high mineral content in the soil.andnbsp; The Parinet family purchased the property in 2009 and have worked diligently to further improve the wines; the farming is now sustainable with organic practices and Burgundian wine making techniques are employed in the winery. The 2018 Moulin-a-Vent is drawn from three parcels in the heart of the zone and sports the lush, dark berry fruit on the nose.andnbsp; The palate is lively with a supple body and extremely crisp acidity. A great 2018 that is just a joy to drink now. 20% whole-cluster fermentation in steel with 21 days on skins, aged 18 months in 20% french oak and 80% steel.
