Floral and perfumed aromas of cranberries, rose petals, raspberries and licorice. The palate is medium-bodied with striking acidity and fine tannins, giving flavors of cherries, pencil shavings and spices. Well balanced and pure, with a fine structure.
Rated 93/100 James Suckling
Known as the King of Beaujolais, the highly acclaimed Moulin-à-Vent Cru boasts the most full-bodied and structured wines found in the region. Grapes for the Maison L’Envoyé Moulin-à-Vent come from south-facing, 60-year-old, Gobelet-pruned vines in the Terre de Thé vineyard. The distinctive pink granite soil produces wine with red and black fruit characters and a lengthy, complex finish. Winemaking One third of the fruit was de-stemmed and vinified in concrete. The remaining seventy percent fermented as whole clusters with half carbonic maceration contributing a spicy fragrant lift to the deep, muscular fruit. Twenty five percent of the wine was then matured over the following 11 months in new French oak, while the remainder stayed in stainless steel until the final blend.
