Strong + Beautiful.
A regal expression from Yohan Lardy composed of 100% Gamay from a tiny 2 hectare block of vines planted in 1950 and 1911 within the legendary Moulin-A-Vent appellation. This gracefully powerful symphony of flowers, fruit and tannins is priced at a steal (especially from Moulin-A-Vent.) Liquid proof that wines can be both strong and beautiful.
- Though Yohan worked for his family for many years, the 2012 vintage was his first under his own wine label.
- Yohan does all the work in the vineyard by hand - including harvest - and in the cellar whole cluster fermentation happens spontaneously, with no sulfur added.
- Out of the 10 Beaujolais crus, Moulin-A-Vent is one of our favorites.
- The vines are located in a single Clos - a vineyard surrounded by a wall - planted with poppies and flowers.
Vibes with:
- Roasted game - and no, we're not talking about Monopoly.
- Giving a bottle of this to someone you love.
- A bouquet of red roses.
