"A fresh, delicious wine with notes of ripe red fruit and spices. Round on the palate, with silky tannins. Already very pleasant to taste today, on youth; it will blossom on notes of evolution in 3 to 5 years' time." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - Gault Millau). A great success!

About the wine:
Good style, delicate palate with clean, precise contours, underlining the progress made by the estate.
About the domain :
Jean-Jacques Parinet's ambitious and consistent renovation of the vineyard and winery is now delivering the expected results. Progress has been meteoric and production continues to dominate the appellation. He can rely on a talented team, made up of Édouard Parinet, their cellar master Brice Lafon and their communications manager Morgane Chambriard. A key player for the appellation and the region, and a formidable ambassador creating value and image in France and around the world.

Scored (2016 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Domaine rated (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
The Couvent des Thorens cuvée is a gourmet wine. The fruit is juicy and the texture harmonious.
About the domain :
Since its acquisition by the Parinet family in 2009, this vast estate has invested considerable human resources in rejuvenating the wings of Moulin-à-Vent, like Château des Jacques in its day. In a modern Gamay style, with long, well-managed ageing in wood, the numerous parcel-based cuvées express the complexity and diversity of the soils. 2016 saw the arrival of the estate's first white vines (4.5 hectares) in the Mâcon and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations, under the name Roc des Boutires.

Rated (2016 guide) 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
Still on the reserve, this Gamay displays an elegant, very sanguine complexity. The tannic structure is imposing, but has been well managed by the ageing process. Uncork this bottle in a year, and the wine will relax and gain in aroma.
