Wine Spectator
Laurent Perrachon has created a very fine Moulin-à-Vent Cuvée Spéciale, aged in oak barrels. A wine both rich and powerful, in the image of great Burgundies. Delicate aromas of black fruit, vanilla and pepper. The tannins are already supple, the palate balanced, racy and powerful. A wine of choice!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
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.

Passable, provided you don't seek out the expression of either Gamay or terroir.
