Château du Moulin-à-Vent

Gamay from Beaujolais's most structured cru, rated by major critics.

Château du Moulin-à-Vent produces Gamay from the Moulin-à-Vent cru of Beaujolais, a granite-rich terroir in eastern France known for wines of structure and depth. The estate's three flagship releases—Grands Savarins, Clos de Londres, and Champ de Cour—demonstrate the precision possible within this appellation. Each wine expresses the mineral character and dark-fruit intensity that define the region's best examples. Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate have all assessed the winery's output, with Grands Savarins achieving particular recognition among prestige critics. Moulin-à-Vent Gamay, when well-made, carries the weight and aging potential that distinguish it from lighter Beaujolais expressions, balancing the grape's natural elegance with the soil's austere demands.
