The ripe forest-berry aromas have incredible depth, giving way to a mouth-filling, full-bodied palate that’s highly structured. Then comes a gigantic wave of mineral freshness, almost perfectly underlined by fine tannins. Lastly, it glides off into the distance, pulling you with it. From organically cultivated vines planted in 1903. Drink or hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e98 points, Stuart Pigott, James Suckling (Mar 2025)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOk, besides being one of the closest Cru to Burgundy in Beaujolais, the style of this wine gets you there too! Moulin-A-Vent for me of all the villages has the highest tendency to cloak as it's more prestigious (and much more expensive) northerly neighbor!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe other day we tasted this beauty from vines planted 119 years from the vintage! We loved it so much we added a slot to the shelf and have it available for pickup now! I highly recommend this for its purity, depth, and utter deliciousness. It has a nose that just does not quit with a gorgeous perfume that pulls you in to stay! It is red wine chilling weather and Beaujolais Cru is hard to beat for that, so grab some while it lasts!\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Decomposed pink granite (“gores”), veins of blue clay and manganese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% “Gamay noir à jus blanc” with vines planted in 1903\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrganic farming.

A gorgeous and intoxicating perfume wafts up from the glass with a melange of red berries, cherries, subtle spices, violets and wild flowers, no doubt granite tones of minerality from the soils that birth this beauty! This is the best Beaujolais and best value we have tasted so far this year! Medium bodied on the palate, the flavor intensity is high, densely flavored, but light as a feather with a long, pretty and perfumed finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moulin-a-Vent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40968285618310,"sku":"EM-Meunier-Lardy1903","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/lardymouin-a-vent1903_d85e6d91-9b69-4f0e-aabb-6a478c7d2cdc.png?v=1763926828","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/yohan-lardy-1903-moulin-a-vent-2023","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
