Details

From our importer: Located in the southernmost tip of the Burgundy region, Moulin-à-Vent was one of the first appellations awarded AOC status in 1936. Chateau du Moulin-à-Vent, named for the 300-year-old stone windmill atop the hill of Les Thorins, dates back to 1732, when it was called Chateau des Thorins.

A blend of three of the best parcels from the Moulin-à-Vent property. Strong winds are habitual in the area, blowing routinely on the vines, keeping them dry and leading to smaller more concentrated berries. An immediate pleasure, this wine is ready to drink now.

The Thorins is historically the most famous climat of the appellation and the commune within Moulin-à-Vent, Romanèche-Thorins, was even named in honor of it.
