Domaine Paul Janin et Fils - Moulin-à-Vent - Red - 2023

Wine:

Crafted from the estate’s finest vines, including a portion from the Greneriers climat, the 2023 Red Moulin-à-Vent is a remarkable achievement. Sourced from 60-year-old vines rooted in deep granite soils, with 80% whole-cluster fermentation, it strikes a delightful balance of density and vibrancy, wrapped in exceptional freshness. This dynamic Gamay reveals fine tannins and layered notes of raspberry, cherry, and violet. Both elegant and full-bodied, it’s a precise, fruit-forward wine with great ageing potential. Awarded 94–96/100 by our Selection Committee, this is a wine not to miss.
