Moulin-à-Vent Les Vérillats 2021
More vintage
This cru owes its name to its old mill dominating the valley, its existence testifies to the regular and powerful winds which favour a good sanitary state of the plants. The "Les Vérillats" plot belongs to the greatest terroirs of the appellation. It produces grapes characterised by small berries giving concentrated and complex wines. The nose offers aromas of fresh wild strawberries with floral notes. The mouth feel is delicious, "salivating", with very fine tannins and a slightly acidic structure. A wine that will surely last for a long time.
