"Decked out in the purple of theater curtains, the nose reveals a scent of bramble, pine sap, with a touch of menthol. Its chewiness is dense, with complete purity because of its roots. A great wine in the making". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2019) A real success for this wine, produced with small yields in limited quantities.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (2019 guide) 18/20 + Coup de Cœur (Reference wine)
Domaine rated (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the wine:
Complex aromatics, finesse. Silky, very long on the palate. Superb grain of tannin. A great wine.
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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (2019 guide) 18/20 + Coup de Cœur (Great 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:
Decked out in the purple of theater curtains, the nose reveals a scent of bramble, pine sap and a touch of menthol. Its chewiness is dense, with the purity of roots. A great wine in the making.
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.
