"Elegant, subtle and powerful!"
A powerful nose, with slightly roasted aromas. Notes of black cherry, violet and gray pepper add a subtle blend. This cuvée is dense on the palate, with a mineral structure and refined tannins. A wine that combines power and elegance!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated wine (guide 2024 ) 91/100
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Precise and delicate, but again in the spirit of the vintage, which doesn't bring a little more mellowness to the palate. It's well made, but lacks the expression of a particular terroir.
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

About the wine:
This bold, luscious and highly structured Moulin-a-Vent is designed for long ageing. Some Beaujolais enthusiasts may find it too tannic today, but we're confident it has an excellent future, as it also offers tons of blackcurrant fruit throughout the long finish. Drink now, but preferably from 2025.
