About wine:
In keeping with the spirit of the vintage, but with the estate's expertise lending it a fruity and flavorful character. Well made, this is a bottle that will give you pleasure.
About the estate:
The ambitious and consistent renovation of the vineyard and cellar decided by Jean-Jacques Parinet is now yielding the expected results. Progress has been rapid and production continues to dominate the appellation. He can rely on a talented team, including Édouard Parinet, their cellar master Brice Lafon, and their communications manager Morgane Chambriard. He is a key player for the appellation and the region, a formidable ambassador who creates value and image in France and around the world.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100
Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About wine:
It is always with the first vintage that one understands the level of an estate, and one must recognize the quality of this very fine 2021, with its slender and delicious style. We appreciate the delicacy of the aromas and the precision of the aging. This wine will evolve gracefully.
About the estate:
Since its acquisition by the Parinet family in 2009, this vast estate has invested heavily in human resources in order to rejuvenate the Moulin-à-Vent, as Château des Jacques did in its day. In a modern Gamay style, with long and well-managed aging in wood, the numerous single-vineyard cuvées express the complexity and diversity of the soils. With 2016 came the estate's first white vines (4.5 hectares) in the Mâcon and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations under the name Roc des Boutires.
