Description
Moulin-à-Vent is an ancient vineyard, whose roots date back to the 1st century with the arrival of the Romans. The “Torreins” wine was then approved by King Louis XIV and entered the French court in the 17th century, thus marking the beginning of the growing reputation of the Cru.

WA 91: Revealing notes of sweet berry fruit, espresso roast, smoke, candied peel and plums, framed by a touch of oak spice and vanillin, the 2017 Moulin-à-Vent is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a fine but firm chassis of tannin and a delicately wood-inflected finish. This is an elegant middleweight from the Château de Moulin-à-Vent that should come into its own after a year or two in the cellar.
