- An elegant and beautifully balanced expression, rich in voluptuous dark fruit aromas, with a firm and rounded texture and an alluring cherry and blackberry finish.
The grapes were manually sorted and 90% were destemmed, leaving a proportion of grapes with stems for complexity and structure. Temperature controlled fermentation took place in concrete tanks with selected local yeast, which has been specially selected from the Gamay grapes in the vineyard. A slow and gentle extraction of fine tannins took place, with a soft maceration with few pump-overs lasting around 14 days. Traditional pressing took place before 70% of the wine was matured in concrete tanks for six months. 30% aged for six months in medium-toast French oak barrels of two years.

| Winery | The Gobelet bush vines have an average age of 70 years and are grown in a plot at the foot of the famous windmill the ‘Moulin-a-Vent’ which gave the Cru its name. At over 250 meters of altitude, this south-east facing plot of ‘Les Greneriers’ is renowned for its distinctive soil made up of alluvial-sandy granite which imparts intense color, richness, body, and long aging potential to the wine. The vineyard is certified HVE sustainable and they promote a balanced eco-system. Herbicides and pesticides are not employed, and only small, light vehicles are used reducing the impact on the terroir. To prevent disease in the vineyard, the immune system of the vine is stimulated by spraying the plants with infusions. The grapes are hand-harvested. |
