Château des Gimarets - Moulin-à-Vent Fût de Chêne 2015

"A wine that is reaching its peak!"

A Moulin-à-Vent that is pinot-like, a blend of primary, secondary, and tertiary aromas, mellow and powdery tannins with a rich and complex finish—in short, a beautiful interpretation of this granite-based terroir. A very fine vintage for a wine entering its peak.
