Richard Rottiers

Moulin-à-Vent Gamay from Beaujolais's most structured cru.

Richard Rottiers produces Gamay from Moulin-à-Vent, one of Beaujolais's most prestigious crus. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions: Dernier Souffle, Champ de Cour, and Mortperay—each a Moulin-à-Vent that has drawn assessment from Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. Moulin-à-Vent Gamay, grown on granite and volcanic soils, develops structure and aging potential that distinguishes it from lighter Beaujolais styles. The winery's wines reflect the cru's characteristic balance of ripe red fruit, mineral tension, and tannin architecture. These bottlings represent the serious end of Beaujolais production, where Gamay achieves complexity and depth.
