On the top of a little hill and in the middle of the vines, one can still admire the "moulin à vent"(wind mill) that gave its name to the area. The mill is now 300 years old, but the vines have been cultivated here for a much longer time: since the time of the Romans. Moulin-à-Vent can be favorably compared to the wines of Côte d'Or because of its good concentration and great ability for ageing. In fact, thanks to its tannins, Moulin-à-Vent may age 7 to 15 years depending on its vintage.

A sovereign among beaujolais wines, the Moulin-à-Vent is full-bodied, hardy and dominating. It has a sparkling ruby red color. The predominant aromas are violet and wilted rose. A good year of Moulin-à-Vent is really the only Beaujolais which is able to age happily.

For anyone who would like to acquaint themselves with classic, traditional Bordeaux, anyone who has become disenchanted with the ever increasing price increases and one upmanship of the Left Bank classified growths and Right Bank garagistes alike, anyone who simply wants an example of authentic, typical, and interesting Bordeaux for relatively little money, here is the perfect wine. As lively, authentic, and vibrant as this gem tastes, I was not surprised to learn that it comes from organically...

Candied red fruits can be detected in the aromatic profile of the fresh, lush 2003 Moulin-a-Vent Domaine des Rosiers. This sensual effort displays loads of red cherries, raspberries, and strawberries in its sultry, deep personality. Well-balanced and concentrated, this spicy wine is a candidate for drinking over the next 6 years. Robert Parker 92 points (Jun 2004)

The color is deep purple and the nose shows intense fruit with spicy, ripe aromas. On the palate, the tannins are perceptible but elegant. The finish is long.

Intense color, varying between deep garnet and dark ruby. This Moulin-à-Vent is suggestive of both flowers and fruit, particularly violets and cherries. Well-structured with moderate tannins, and delicately spiced, it offers complexity and good length, elegance and harmony, power and velvet.
