Moulin-à-Vent 2021

The Château des Bachelards vineyard was created by the Benedictine monks of Cluny around 1100. Today, it extends over 12 hectares, all of which are farmed organically and biodynamically, in keeping with this monastic heritage. The absence of chemicals in the soil for 16 years and the use of biodynamic practices allow the terroirs to express themselves fully in the wines of Les Bachelards. The very old Gamay vines, the indigenous grape variety and the only red grape variety grown at Château des Bachelards, thrive wonderfully on our acidic, more or less weathered granite soils.

Our Moulin-à-Vent is a blend of our parcels, all of which have in common the fact that they are planted on the very old parent rock of black granite, which is almost outcropping, with a very fine grain that lends a great deal of subtlety and depth to the wine.

Moulin-à-Vent 2021 is characterised by class, freshness and a velvety texture that holds up from start to finish. This wine is distinguished by its subtlety and complexity, which means it can be enjoyed from a young age, but which does not prevent it from ageing gracefully.
