Stéphane Aviron can be considered a pioneer is his approach to winemaking in Beaujolais, however he would just tell you that he’s simply returning to the traditional practices that have always made fantastic Gamay wines. Sustainable viticulture, extremely old vines and classic Burgundian techniques.
Situated in the north of the Beaujolais region, Moulin-à-Vent is one of the most famous crus and named after the local windmill – the literal translation of the name. This wine has expressive black cherry aromas and firm structure in the mouth. Its mineral underpinning and firm but ripe tannins help it age perhaps longer than any of the Beaujolais crus.
Expressive black & blue fruit and pretty florality on the nose, along with hints of savoury dried herbs and graphite. The palate is juicy and elegantly concentrated, suggesting notes of black raspberry and cherry flavours with spices that unfold with each sip. Violet petals linger into the finish, which shows a lightly dusty, tannic structure. A very pretty wine.
Try alongside dishes like osso buco or tournedos rossini.
