Domaine Anita Moulin à Vent Très Vieille Vigne 2020 – Magnum
- Medium bodied
- Beaujolais
Très Vielle Vigne translates to “very old vines”- in the case of this wine, we’re talking 80 years old. Sitting on a steep southeast facing slope with the trademark granitic soils of Beajoulais, these vines deliver on concentration and structure. The aspect is perfect for gentle morning ripening and the granite lends an energy to the wine. This wine is the pride of the Domaine, with deep and dark flavours and unending complexity to discover. Despite the usual thought that Beajoulais can’t age, this wine still has years of delight under the cork- particularly in this magnum format. This is modern Beajoulais at its best.

Reviews
James Suckling
“What a beautiful nose of violets and ripe (but not overripe) blackberries this has! So succulent, with a wonderful interplay of creaminess, fine tannins and mineral freshness on the concentrated, medium-bodied palate. Very long, velvety finish with so much finesse! Drink or hold.”
Full price $120.00 from the producer.

Region
Beaujolais
Oh Beaujolais, how we love you! Known for growing the delicious Gamay grape, this French wine region is located just north of Lyon. While administratively considered part of the Burgundy wine region and the climate here is close to the Rhône - the wine is unique unto itself.
