Presentation of Domaine Le Nid Moulin à Vent Rochegrès 2013 – Red

Discover the Moulin à Vent Rochegrès 2013 vintage, from Domaine Le Nid , a plot selection aged in new barrels, worthy of the greatest Moulin à Vent . The color is a very deep garnet red which calls for tasting. The nose is dominated by very ripe fruits mixed with notes of pepper and leather. The palate confirms the aromas present on the nose, with aromas of black fruits, such as blueberry or blackberry and notes of gingerbread. The present and very silky tannins give way to a suave and velvety finish. A mature Windmill ready to drink for the most impatient!

History of the estate

The Lardet family , loving Beaujolais , and more particularly the Moulin à Vent vintage, took over the estate in 2012 and named it “ Le Nid ”. Since then, she has passionately “smoldered” her 6 hectares of vines, preserving its unity and highlighting the unique character of her terroir. Helped by a cellar master and a talented oenologist, Domaine Le Nid has redefined the methods of vinification and aging, while respecting the traditions of this great wine region. Established on the Moulin à Vent terroir, “grand lord of Beaujolais wines ”, it offers a range of wines with floral and fruity aromas but which remain full-bodied and complex, ideal for aging. The secret of these great wines lies in the particular soil of this terroir, composed of sandstone and pink granite arenas which are full of manganese, and which brings structure and complexity to the emblematic grape variety of Beaujolais : Gamay .
