2020 Richard Rottiers Moulin-à-Vent

A powerful and structured cru du Beaujolais. Violet aroma with an emphasis on the fruit. Spicy tannins rounded by the oak with well integrated tannins. Very long in the mouth.

Viticulture

This well-balanced wine has typical aromas of violet with an emphasis on fruit, and comes from nine different vineyards of the Gamay varietal, which are located throughout the Moulin-à-Vent appellation. The refinement and richness of this wine is revealed by a soft wine making technique, maceration under CO2 and a six-month aging process in wooden vats and barrels

Vinification

The entire crop is hand-picked and carefully sorted before being put into vats. The grapes are kept in temperature controlled vats. This method allows for fruit aromas as well as subtle and delicate aromatic reminders of the Moulin a Vent terroir to be gently extracted from the Gamay grapes. The final and perfect balance of our wines is achieved through temperature controlled fermentation and barrel aging throughout the whole winter season.
