“Like Don Quixote, don’t be afraid to take him on!”

“An excellent Moulin-à-Vent that combines richness, ample concentration, and fine tannins to create a seductive palate. The full-bodied, earthy notes are intense, but the complex character of the dark fruit is even more pronounced. A very long, velvety finish. Drink now or cellar.” (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:

An excellent Moulin-à-Vent that combines richness, full-bodied depth, and refined tannins to create a seductive palate. The rich, earthy notes are intense, but the complex character of the dark fruit is even more pronounced. A very long, velvety finish. Ready to drink now or for aging.
