"Another successful cuvée is the 2021 Moulin-à-Vent Les Trois Roches, a supple and harmonious wine redolent of wild berries, spices, rose petals and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with tangy acids and melting tannins, it concludes with a sapid finish." - Wine Advocate
"Intense with red fruit scents that include raspberry, cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant, partnered by hints of violet and iris. Refined and racy with a full rounded and fleshy juicy fruit attack. Mellow, creamy tannins give a suave, velvety texture. Great complexity of flavors." - Pierre-Marie Chermette
"This is named for the three rocky parcels of vines from which it derives—Rochegrès, Roche Noire and Rochelle. The average age of the vines on these sites is now over 40 years. Pierre-Marie points out that La Rochelle (which overlooks the famous windmill) brings structure, whereas the east-facing Rochegrès contributes finesse and supple tannins, and the Roche Noire grapes bring liveliness and juicy fruit. One of the common features of these sites is the concentration of manganese in the soils, which delivers an unmistakable mineral thread that runs through the wine.
Unlike the wines above, Chermette’s Moulin à Vent undergoes a portion of barrique aging (20%) which gives you some idea of the intense personality of this Cru. As always, it’s the most savoury of the range, visible here with touches of fennel, some bright spices and smoky minerality alongside the sappy brambly fruit profile. Mouth-coating and powerful, it’s a densely flavoured and mineral-tinged Beaujolais with a compelling, sinewy finish. The business." - Bibendum
