Intriguing, spicy and savory, offering a smoky, sanguine profile, with subtle notes of wild berries and red currant overshadowed by flavors of smoke, toast, charred herbs and shaved graphite. Alpine herbal freshness adds a new dimension, with green herb oil and mocha hints echoing on the medium-length finish

Meaty and smoky undertones to this rich and full-bodied Moulin-a-Vent. Swathes of dark berry fruit, mocha and spice box are wrapped up in firm and chalky tannins. Long and powerful

This wine opens with black cherry, wet stone, fresh cranberry and hibiscus. Tight, chalky, red fruit on the palate is supported by a persistent streak of acidity and firm tannins. This cool-vintage Moulin-à-Vent would pair well with sautéed meats and vegetables dishes that crave a wine partner with acidity and depth.

One of the single-vineyard wines from this producer, this bottling has power and density. Its richness is without question, needing time to soften.

Stunning nose of violets and amarena cherry! Ripe and concentrated with plenty of fine tannins and an acidity that’s extremely elegant for the 2021 vintage. Very long finish with stacks of wet stone and licorice character, plus a touch of vanilla. Excellent aging potential
