Moulin-à-Vent Les Vérillats 2022
More vintage
This cru owes its name to its old mill overlooking the valley, and its presence testifies to the regular, powerful winds that favor good plant health. The "Les Vérillats" parcel is one of the appellation's finest terroirs. The nose is very elegant, fresh and silky. The palate offers a wide range of aromas, evolving between floral and fruity notes. This beautiful harmony of flavors reveals citrus notes on the finish. A perfectly balanced wine.
