"Like Don Quixote, don't be afraid to attack it!"

"An excellent Moulin-à-Vent that combines richness, ample concentration and fine tannins to create a seductive composition on the palate. The fleshy, earthy notes are intense, but the complex black fruit character is even more pronounced. Very long, velvety finish. Drink or cellar. (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:

An excellent Moulin-à-Vent that combines richness, full concentration and fine tannins to create a seductive composition on the palate. The fleshy, earthy notes are intense, but the complex black fruit character is even more pronounced. Very long, velvety finish. For drinking or cellaring.
