Wine Enthusiast
"A virtuoso, delicate cuvée with aromas of red fruit, iris and wilted roses".
Moulin à Vent is often called the "Lord of the Beaujolais". It's a full-bodied wine with aromas of red fruits, flowers and spices. Its youthful expression is best appreciated now, with a little decanting before serving.

About the domain :
Winegrowers in Juliénas since the early 17th century, the Perrachon family bought Ch. de la Bottière in 1877, then Dom. des Perelles in Romanèche-Thorins (windmill). When Laurent Perrachon set up in 1989, he acquired Dom. des Mouilles, then parcels in Morgon, Fleurie and Saint-Amour: a total of 31 ha, with vines in six crus. With Maxime and Adrien, the new generation joined the domaine in 2016.
