Moulin-à-Vent is often considered the most powerful and ageworthy of all Beaujolais crus. The vineyards dot the hillsides around Romanèche-Thorins, reigned over by the appellation’s iconic windmill. The “Les Gimarets” cuvée is full-bodied with structured, sinewy tannins. The nose is very pretty with its fragrant florality, ripe dark fruit and lingering spice. The 2023 vintage is slightly lighter than previous Moulins tasted from the estate but with no lack of freshness or finesse. 2025-2030–JB
