Richard Rottiers
Originally from Chablis, Richard Rottiers set up his own domaine in Romanèche-Thorins in 2007 after training in several countries and regions: Chablis, Gaillac, South Africa, New Zealand, Luberon, Côte de Brouilly at Château Thivin. Passionate about the life of the soil, his way of working in the vineyard aims to bring healthy, perfectly ripe grapes to harvest, while respecting the soil and the environment. Today at the head of 5 ha of Gamay vines aged between 40 and 80 years, Richard Rottiers began converting the vineyard to organic production in 2012. Producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Moulin-à-Vent, Richard Rottiers is one of a generation of winemakers who have brought the climates of Beaujolais to the fore.

"A breathtakingly adorable Moulin-à-Vent (Vinous) "

"Moulin-à-Vent Dernier Souffle 2022 is a powerful wine with aromas of stewed blackberry, kirsch, cocoa and sweet earth. It's medium- to full-bodied and classically structured, with firm, fine-grained tannins supporting the heavy concentration of velvety fruit. It's just beginning to reveal its black pepper and wet stone salinity nuances that appear on the finish. I recommend leaving this wine in the cellar for a few years to allow the elements to amalgamate." (Robert Parker 2024)

"Very pleasant (Parker)"

"Moulin-à-Vent 2022 exudes rich aromas of red and black cherries, spicy plums and ground ginger. The layered, medium- to full-bodied palate features zesty notes of tangerine and white pepper, combined with well-balanced acidity and fine but robust tannins that testify to the wine's aging capacity. The wine is persistent, with remarkable symmetry throughout. Very enjoyable." (Robert Parker 2024).

Richard Rottiers - Moulin-à-Vent Les Thorins 2019

94/100 Wine Enthusiast

gamay
peppery
new

A brand-new cuvée! A delicate, refined juice from granite hillside plots. This terroir, with its poor soils, magnifies the Gamay's aromatic potential, giving it a very special ageing potential: after a few years, the wine is said to "pinote". A subtle wine with a stunningly peppery mouthfeel.

"Just bottled, the 2019 Moulin-à-Vent opens in the glass with a pure, youthful primary bouquet of raspberries, red cherries and sweet wild berries. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's still tightly wound, but its concentration and energy bode very well for positive evolution." (Wine Advocate 2020).
