2018 Pierre-Marie Chermette Moulin à Vent Les Trois Roc

Description

Moulin à Vent is called King of Beaujolais. This is the Cru with the longest cellaring potential and which is closest to its Burgundian neighours. As it ages, it is sometimes said to “pinote”. This cuvée is the expression of the alliance between finesse and power. The aromatic palate is wide, going from very ripe small red berries through spice to mineral notes. The three different plots of vines we use for this cuvée give a wine that is full and balanced: Rochegrès give finesse, Roche Noire liveliness and fruit while La Rochelle contributes power.

Grape variety: Gamay 1 hectare at Rochegrès + 2 hectares at La Rochelle + 1.5 hectares at Roche Noire, from which we buy the grapes. A variety of granite with seams of manganese. Integrated vinegrowing, goblet pruning, manual harvest at full ripeness. Traditional vinification of Beaujolais : half-carbonic maceration with two pumping per day, maceration of 10 to 12 days in vats, no chaptalization, minimum of SO2.
