Château du Moulin-à-Vent 2021

The nose is fresh and floral, with notes of rose and bud, and subtler hints of pepper, layered with touches of blackberry and a hint of crushed raspberry. The palate is fruity, offering freshness, juiciness, suppleness, indulgence, tension, and lovely energy. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, fresh small red berries, and, more slightly, flowers/rose, combined with touches of fresh plum and fine hints of bay berry. Good length. A sappy finish.

This is a beautifully aged Moulin-à-Vent that shines even in a cooler vintage. A smattering of ripe red fruit wafts from your glass along with black plum, dried cranberry and red raspberry. Firm tannins lead on the attack and dissolve into well-integrated, chalk-dusted red and black fruit.
