Wine Reviews
Opening beautifully with extra time in bottle, this Moulin-à-Vent is generous, with aromas of dried red currant and cherry preserves, while sandalwood lends sweet spice notes alongside warm earth and brown bread savoriness. Plush yet well-delineated on the palate, this is a broad-shouldered expression, with ample depth and poise.
Voluminous and full-bodied, this Moulin-à-Vent offers resonant aromas of cherry leather and dried currant. Flavors of Darjeeling, lavender and fresh tarragon are marbled throughout its core of fruit, which is supple and chewy on the palate. A kiss of sandalwood lends a vein of sweet spices to the long finish.
The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent is more forward and cherry-flavored than the Morgon, featuring notes of maraschino and Morello cherries, though perhaps this doesn’t have the same degree of complexity. The palate is ripe on the entry, quite sweet and fleshy…
Reserved aromas of grilled meat, red currant, black plum, black olive and dried red cherry open on the nose. A chalky palate dusted with graphite shavings is supported by grippy tannins.
A well-made, dense and flavorful red with red cherries, red berries and warm spices on the nose, following through to a medium body with fresh acidity and fine tannins. Lively and peppery, with a vibrant and persistent finish. Drink or hold.
