Moulin-à-Vent 2020

The Château des Bachelards vineyard was created by the Benedictine monks of Cluny around the year 1100. The wine of Bachelards is part of this culture of intuition and observation. The Château is doubly certified in organic and biodynamic viticulture, and is a forerunner in its appellation in many respects: agroforestry in the vines, permaculture vegetable garden, sheep, naturally occurring bees, herbal medicine, horse-drawn soil cultivation, high trellising with acacia stakes, small yields, and very old massal vines. The grapes are harvested by hand in crates, the wine is received by gravity, only indigenous yeasts are used and the maturing process is deliberately long... A heritage that has simply been reinterpreted with certainty, because the monks were never wrong!

This Moulin-à-Vent is characterised by its class, length and freshness. The colour is garnet with very intense aromas of black pepper and blackcurrant. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, relatively full-bodied with velvety tannins of great finesse and good length. The finish is very precise with very pure aromas while firmly asserting its presence. A fine and dense Moulin-à-Vent with real strength but in a velvet glove. A wine of place.
