Albert Bichot’s skill in the Cote d’Or is clearly on display here, and Rochegrès’ Moulin-à-Vent is up there with the best from appellation, invariably showing finesse and purity, with excellent fruit concentration and focus. The 2022 is arguably the finest vintage yet, with top scores across the board.
Drinking window: 2024 - 2031
What the critics say:
"A very dense purple, almost opaque. Rich and punchy, might this be overdone? The palate says no. Super-succulent but more in a vivid red fruit than black, good grains of tannins, a little point of acidity and fine length. Stays with you. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted: October 2023. ****."
"Semi-carbonic maceration combined with 100% destemmed fruit. Beaujolais crus are coming into their own, according to technical director Matthieu Mangenot. 80-year-old Gamay vines on granite rock – extraordinary-looking apparently! 50% is aged for 8 months in 350-litre barrels (20% new). Bottled 7 September 2023. Notably high alcohol, at just over 14%. Polished, serious. Really complete and refreshing for quite long ageing. Still quite firm tannins on the end."
