✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted under the legendary house of Georges Duboeuf, the 'King of Beaujolais,' the Domaine du Moulin-a-Vent represents the pinnacle of the region's Cru system. The wine takes its name from the historic, 15th-century stone windmill that stands sentinel over the rolling vineyards. Unlike the lighter, simpler styles of Beaujolais, Moulin-a-Vent is renowned for its remarkable power, depth, and structure—a direct result of the unique pink granite soils rich in manganese. This mineral-rich terroir naturally restricts grape yields, forcing the Gamay vines to produce small, highly concentrated berries. Vinified with traditional methods that balance vibrant fruit expression with structural extraction, this wine offers deep notes of dark cherries, plums, and violets, underpinned by a distinct mineral backbone. Over time, it famously undergoes 'pinotage,' developing the earthy, complex forest floor characteristics of a fine aged Burgundy.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Les Vins Georges Duboeuf har hjemsted i Romanèche-Thorins i det franske Beaujolais og blev grundlagt i 1964 af Georges Duboeuf, der ofte hyldes som 'Kongen af Beaujolais'. Négociant-huset revolutionerede regionens internationale profil ved at slå et slag for domæneaftapninger, opbygge tætte partnerskaber med lokale vinbønder og gøre det årlige Beaujolais Nouveau-fænomen verdensberømt. Huset ledes i dag af Duboeuf-familien og er fortsat dybt engageret i at formidle Gamay-druens mange terroirfacetter på tværs af de ti Beaujolais Crus – herunder Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon og Juliénas – sideløbende med et nøje udvalgt sortiment fra Rhône-dalen og Pays d'Oc.
