Château du Moulin-à-Vent
Château du Moulin-à-Vent is located in the heart of the prestigious Moulin-à-Vent appellation in the extreme south of Burgundy. Managed by Jean-Jacques Parinet, his approach is guided by respect for this exceptional heritage and the quest for excellence in the production of the estate's wines. He is supported by Brice Laffond, Château du Moulin-à-Vent's vineyard manager and cellar master.

His 30-hectare estate is made up of 91 parcels of exceptional quality, belonging to the appellation's finest terroirs (Le Champ de Cour, La Rochelle, Les Vérillats, Les Thorins, La Roche, Les Caves...). Château du Moulin-à-Vent practices integrated vineyard management, with natural fertilization, manual weeding and minimal use of chemicals. The grapes are harvested by hand, in small containers, to avoid crushing the berries and oxidizing the juice. Thanks to its meticulous approach in both vineyard and cellar, Château du Moulin-à-Vent produces superb wines that reveal each terroir with finesse and elegance, vintage after vintage.

"A fine definition of vintage!

"In a slightly closed phase, Couvent des Thorins reveals notes of guigne, elderberry and toasted hints. The palate is lively, with tight tannins that energize the whole. A fine definition of the cru. Long ageing is to be expected. (Le Guide RVF 2023)

"Opaque ruby. Vibrant cherry and dark berry scents with mineral accents capture notes of succulent herbs, Moroccan spices, vanilla and candied flowers with air. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering densely packed black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors that are complemented by nuances of five-spice powder and mocha. All length and spice, with a resonant black fruit character and velvety tannins that gradually fade into the wine's juicy fruit." (Vinous A. Galloni) Attention, limited quantities.

"From a more clay-rich lieu-dit, Moulin-à-Vent's 2016 Champ de Cour has a bouquet of earthy, spicy plums and red fruits, framed by recently used oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a fuller, fleshier profile than Les Vérillats, its initially chewy tannins melting on the finish." (Wine Advocate - William Kelley). Superb!

The Moulin-à-Vent La Rochelle 2016 shows great promise. It's the most complete and complex wine in the estate's range, massive yet very fine and long. Its nose of fruit and creamy vanilla extends to spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and deep, with pronounced tannins. Very promising!
Very limited quantities!

"Croix des Vérillats 2011 shows cherry and blackberry accents, with lovely salinity and nuances of chalk, brown spice and vanilla. Seductive scents of wisteria and violets rise from the glass, with persistence on the palate. The 10,000 bottles produced of this long-finished beauty will be worth tasting through 2018."

"Taut and fleshy at the same time, Pouilly-Fuissé stands out for its beautiful class on the palate and well-controlled breeding." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - RVF). A fresh, elegant white on the nose, balanced on the palate with unctuous, slightly buttery notes. A bottle full of charm!
