James Suckling
This harmonious Moulin à Vent with its deep, intense ruby-red color reveals a nose of morello cherry and licorice, with a dense, fleshy mouth. The finish is long and fruity, with a hint of acidity. Ready to drink, it has great ageing potential (10 to 20 years).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
The very dynamic and friendly Lardet family, Delphine, Jocelin, Stéphane and their father, confirm our expectations with more accomplished wines from recent vintages (the barrels have aged...). More precise, without losing their power, the crus assert themselves with authority. Unfortunately, the estate has not escaped the climatic afflictions that have affected the cru. Quantities are small but highly qualitative. Enthusiasts should make haste while waiting for the 2018s, which were still maturing at the time of our visit.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Formerly known as Dom. du Petit Chêne, this windmill vineyard (8 ha) was taken over in 2012 by Paul Lardet, an industrialist at the head of a metallurgy company manufacturing winery equipment. He renamed it Le Nid in 2014 and runs it with his 3 children using integrated farming methods, with customized breeding. A very consistent quality estate

Rated domain (guide 2023) Recommended
About the wine:
Here's a pure Moulin-a-Vent that makes a very good introduction to this appellation, combining wild fruit and sour cherries with a fairly generous body, soft tannins and seductive freshness. Clean, harmonious finish. For drinking or cellaring.
