This wine is always a little bit tight when it’s young, but it has a very nice freshness. It’s a wine that needs to be kept a minimum of 3-4 years before opening, but if you’re patient enough, 10 years will be even better.

FOR THE 2015 VINTAGE
The 2015 Moulin a Vent la Roche contains 40% whole bunch fruit and is aged in 30% new oak. It comes from 70-year-old vines cropped at 24 hectoliters per hectare. This is much more controlled and sophisticated on the nose compared to the Vieilles Vignes, more mineralité showing through. The palate is well balanced with chewy tannin, grippy in the mouth with black cherries, tar and blueberry on the heady finish. This is a delicious, quite punchy Moulin-à-Vent from Thibault Liger-Belair.
