Moulin-à-Vent Les Vérillats 2023
More vintage
This cru owes its name to its old mill overlooking the valley, and its presence bears witness to the steady, powerful winds that favor healthy plant growth. The “Les Vérillats” parcel is one of the appellation's finest terroirs. The nose is very fine, a refinement that is the signature of this cru. A great deal of elegance accompanies this vintage, which subtly “pinotes”. The palate is precise, very fruity with vivacity and a “salivating” tannic structure. It has all the qualities of a fine wine for laying down.
