MOULIN-À-VENT COEUR DE TERROIRS

Coeur de Terroirs comes from four parcels in Moulin-à-Vent, planted with 10-25-year-old vines. As such, it provides an overview of the appellation and its granite soils. This offers bright, juicy red berry fruit with crunch and precision. Very approachable — a wine that will drink upon arrival. It will be bottled in April 2025. All destemmed, with maturation in old 600-litre demi-muids.

MOULIN-À-VENT CHAMP DE COUR

Champ de Couris a 1.4-hectare southeast-facing site, planted with 50+ year-old vines. The soil contains pebbles over thick, dense clay and granite. Dark and peppery aromas leading into a palate of juicy plum and red cherry fruit. The 30% whole bunch fermentation comes through in vivacious freshness and pretty spices. 90% of the wine was aged in 600-litre old oak demi-muids, the remaining 10% in used Burgundy barrels, for 18 months.

MOULIN-À-VENT LE CARQUELIN

Le Carquelin is a 1.75-hectare south-facing slope, with 50-year-old vines planted on friable granite. As winemaker Nadine Gublin says, this is “the heart of the best granite soils of Moulin-à-Vent”. A dark, spicy, minerally nose. The palate is sleek and energetic, the liquorice and bright, bitter cherry fruit make for a dark wine which is open and accessible. “A noble wine,” in Edouard Labruyère’s words. 100% destemmed, following which 50% is aged in oak barrels and 50% in 600L demi-muids. Outstanding value.

LE CLOS DU MOULIN-À-VENT, MONOPOLE

The domaine is never able to satisfy the demand for this wine, although they are very good to C&B. Le Clos, beside the iconic windmill, is the only monopole in Moulin-à-Vent. It is a 0.92-hectare south-facing walled vineyard, planted with 70+ year-old untrellised vines. Arid soils of sand and rock sit above hard granite. Bitter cherry aromas with creamy density. The palate is fresh and precise on the entry, opening onto a cool, focussed mid-palate of delicate spices and wild strawberries. The finish is salty and fine. 100% destemmed, with ageing in 228L oak barrels. 10-15% new oak.
