"A handsome, deep red color with purple tints and lovely aromas, with perfectly mature red and black fruit, hints of spice and floral notes of rose, peony and violet. Good body with fine tannins and good length. Rich, opulent and complex, finishing on a spicy note." -Winery Notes

Located in the southernmost tip of the Burgundy region, Moulin-à-Vent was one of the first appellations established in 1924 and later awarded AOC status in 1936. Château du Moulin-à-Vent (pictured above), named for the 300-year-old stone windmill atop the hill of Les Thorins (pictured above), dates back to 1732, when it was called Château des Thorins. Today, the estate encompasses 37 hectares (91.4 acres) of the appellation’s finest climats, planted to Gamay Noir averaging 40 years in age. Since 2009, under the new ownership of the Parinet family, investment in the winemaking facilities and the vineyards has resulted in plot-specific signature wines expressing the individual characteristics of each exceptional terroir.
