Origin and Terroir
The Moulin-à-Vent appellation extends over approximately 660 hectares in northern Beaujolais, mainly located in the communes of Romanèche-Thorins and Chénas. The vineyard grows on very poor soils of pure pink granite, which force the vines to root deeply, thus giving the wine its concentration and aromatic complexity. The terroir is renowned as one of the finest in Beaujolais 

Grape Variety and Vinification
This wine is made exclusively from the Gamay grape variety. The vinification follows a quality-focused tradition aimed at revealing the freshness, structure, and elegance of the cru, resulting in a generous wine on the palate with a complex and harmonious aromatic structure

Nose: Floral and gourmand bouquet with notes of rose, red and black berries (raspberry, blackcurrant, blueberry), complemented by expressive minerality
