Domaine des Perelles' Moulin à Vent is made of 100% Gamay grown in shallow granite and clay soils from 60+ year-old vines fermented in tank and aged for 12 months in oak foudres. In the glass, the wine shows a lovely mid-garnet color with purple reflections. The nose has an intoxicating medley of cherries, violets, roses and ripe peaches. The palate is wonderfully structured: vibrant acidity, earthy minerality, soft, delectable tannins wrap around and frame a heady concentration of succulent stone fruits, flowers and licorice flavors. The finish is elegant, refined and persistent, driven by lip-smacking freshness and a complex mélange of fruits. After tasting the wine you clearly see why Moulin à Vent is known as the Lord of Beaujolais! You can certainly enjoy a bottle tonight, though it will develop nicely over the next 5+ years. Enjoy with seared duck breast with a cherry sauce or a classic steak frites.
