Château du Moulin-à-Vent has a history spanning more than 300 years, during which time three families have succeeded one another. Although their histories differ, they have all shared the same certainty: that of the pre-eminence of Moulin-à-Vent. Under the aegis of the Parinet family since 2009, Château du Moulin-à-Vent is now undergoing a remarkable renaissance thanks to the dedication of two daring innovators: Édouard Parinet and Brice Laffond. With their enthusiasm, curiosity and passion, the two men are producing exceptional wines that faithfully reflect the expression of the great terroirs of the Beaujolais region.
This wine comes from the "La Rochelle" vineyard, a 4.2-hectare area placed at an altitude of 280 metres in the appellation, with a soil composed of granite and clay. This cuvée is made from vines that are on average 90 years old.
The nose is complex, releasing fragrances of ripe sour cherry.
The palate delights with its silky tannins presenting a lovely roundness, and its mineral finish. This 2020 vintage suggests a great ageing potential.
