Georges Duboeuf, Moulin-à-Vent Cuvée Tradition 2018
DESCRIPTION
Perched atop the hills of Chénas, this 2018 Moulin-à-Vent is a superb expression of the Gamay grape variety. The vines are cultivated without chemical products, with a commitment to respecting the environment and terroir.
With a brilliant purple color, the wine captivates with its elegant aromas of cherry eau-de-vie, enhanced by spicy touches and slight notes of licorice. On the palate, the attack is supple, the fruit well-present, supported by beautiful freshness and melted tannins. A perfect balance between structure and deliciousness.
Signed by Georges Duboeuf – an essential reference in Beaujolais – this wine has been awarded 90 points by Wine Spectator. A gem with remarkable value for money, perfect with meats in sauce, game, or aged cheeses.
REGION
Beaujolais
France
Situated just south of Burgundy, Beaujolais is a wine-growing region with a semi-continental climate conducive to the production of fresh, fruity, brilliant red wines. Its emblematic grape variety, Gamay, expresses remarkable purity and vivacity, whether in the cuvées de soif or the deeper expressions of the crus.
The region boasts ten prestigious crus, each with its own personality: Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié and Saint-Amour. Names that resonate with fans of gourmet red wines, combining freshness, finesse and character.
More from Bourgogne
I love its almost Burgundian character, with fine tannins and slightly spicy dark fruit. A beautiful wine for aging.
