"A very nice definition of vintage!"
"In a slightly closed phase, Couvent des Thorins reveals notes of blackcurrant, elderberry, and toasted aromas. The palate is lively, with tight tannins that energize the whole. A beautiful expression of the vintage. Long aging potential." (Le Guide RVF 2023)

Rated estate (2023 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
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.

About wine:

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.

About wine:
Château Moulin-à-Vent is a jewel in the appellation's crown. This estate wine is powerful and dense. The acidity and black fruit flavors are still lively and will soften with age. The concentration and structure promise long aging potential. Drink from 2025 onwards.
