Ratings: Robert Parker 89/100, RVF 14/20, Bettane & Desseauve 14/20, Burghound 89/100
This exquisite Moulin-à-Vent displays a subtle aromatic richness: perfectly ripe red and black fruits, delicate spices, and floral notes of rose, peony, and violet. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a lovely, lingering finish marked by spices, this is a great wine!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The ambitious and comprehensive 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 reputation both in France and around the world.

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 you taste the wines from these estates)
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. With the 2016 vintage, the estate’s first white wines (4.5 hectares) in the Mâcon and Pouilly-Fuissé appellations were released under the name Roc des Boutires.
