Moulin-à-Vent 2020 - Château des Jacques
Beautiful Beaujolais estate
93/100 James Suckling
When to drink this wine? : 2023 - 2035
Tasting in 2022: "I like the way this sophisticated Moulin-à-Vent marries the bright red fruit you expect from Beaujolais with a savory character and a warm tannic base that allows it to transform the lively acidity of the Gamay grape into a major plus. Long, complex finish with depth and energy in near-perfect balance. Drink it or hold it."
PRESENTATION OF THE CUVÉE
- Grapes: Red/Gamay
- Characteristics: This wine is a blend of our eight great Moulin à Vent terroirs: Rochegrès, Carquelin, Champ de Cour, Thorins, Vérillats, La Roche, La Rochelle and the Cellars. The depth and weathering of the pink granite, as well as the exposure, vary according to the plots.
- Vinification: Picked by hand in boxes, sorted and often destemmed, the grapes macerate slowly for three to four weeks. Punching down or pumping over punctuate the fermentation, depending on the nature of the vintage.
- Aging and bottling
- The wines are aged for 10 months in concrete vats and one-wine, two-wine and new oak barrels in our old 17th century cellar. The wood comes from the forests of Nivernais, Limousin and Allier.
