92 Points - James Suckling (2017)
Shows berries and hints of fresh herbs. Wet earth, too. Medium-bodied, linear and tight. A solid 2017, despite problems with hail in July.
The 2017 Moulin-à-Vent wafts from the glass with a beautiful and incipiently complex bouquet of cherries, raspberries, candied peel and warm spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and pure, framed by velvety tannins and succulent acids and concludes with a sapid, subtly oak-inflected finish.
This estate, which has vines in both Moulin-à-Vent and Morgon, is well known for its richly structured wines. This bottling from a blend of vines is full of tannins, ripe blackberry fruits and acidity. Its future is assured, so wait to drink until 2021.
