Opaque ruby. Powerful cherry and blackberry aromas pick up smoky mineral and floral qualities as the wine opens up. Weighty, in the manner of the vintage, but showing very good energy as well, offering gently sweet black currant, cherry and violet pastille flavors that firm up slowly on the back half. Dusty tannins come in late on the finish, which hangs around with suave floral and spice notes. This wine is quite civilized both for the appellation and for the vintage. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, October 2019)

This benchmark domaine’s entry-level Moulin-à-Vent displays deep cherry and dark berry character, along with the power and structure that defines the appellation. The 2017 is fruit-forward and a bit of air brings out vibrant mineral and floral qualities while taming its youthful tannins. $24.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, September 2019)

It’s 2017 but drinks as a young wine. Didn’t like it that much.

Delicious Gamay. Red raspberries and bright red cherries and cherry skins. Smoky oak, white pepper, and nice tannins.
