🏰From Louis Boillot, this Moulin-à-Vent "Vieilles Vignes" 2022 is from a Cru Beaujolais appellation considered the "grandest of the 10 Beaujolais villages", offering a "Pinoté" character with "sleek, focused, transparent, and vibrant" flavors. The 2022 vintage in Beaujolais produced wines with "nice mouth-filling volume" and "vibrancy, an energy, to the flavours." Expect a cool, dark ruby color with aromas of 【smoky griotte cherries, fresh ripe cranberries, and wild blueberries】, sometimes alternating with 【wild mushrooms, charcuterie, and freshly cut hay】. The palate is vibrant, with a sweet core of flavors like 【sun-warmed black raspberries, dried tarragon, Earl Grey tea, and cardamom】. It drinks much like a rustic 布根地 (Burgundy), with grippy tannins and moderate acidity. 🍴 This elegant Gamay is excellent with charcuterie, roasted chicken, lighter red meats, mushroom dishes, coq au vin, or grilled pork. 🥂 Ideal for bistro dining, casual yet elegant meals, or exploring the depth of Cru Beaujolais.
