About the wine:
True to the spirit of the vintage, yet crafted with the estate’s expertise to give it a fruity and flavorful character. Well-made, this is a bottle that will bring you pleasure.
About the estate:
The ambitious and well-planned renovation of the vineyard and winery initiated by Jean-Jacques Parinet is now yielding the expected results. Progress has been remarkable, and the estate continues to lead the appellation. He is supported by a talented team, including Édouard Parinet, their cellar master Brice Lafon, and their communications manager Morgane Chambriard. A key player for the appellation and the region, he is a formidable ambassador who builds value and enhances the region’s image both 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 wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
It is always the first vintage that reveals a winery’s true caliber, and the quality of this superb 2021—with its elegant, approachable style—is undeniable. We appreciate the delicacy of its aromas and the precision of its aging. This wine will age gracefully.
About the estate:
Since its acquisition by the Parinet family in 2009, this vast estate has invested significant resources in revitalizing the Moulin-à-Vent appellation, much like Château des Jacques did in its day. In a modern Gamay style, with long, carefully managed aging in oak, the numerous single-vineyard cuvées express the complexity and diversity of the soils. In 2016, the estate’s first white wine vineyards (4.5 hectares) in the Mâcon and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations were introduced under the name Roc des Boutires.
