2019 Domaine Richard Rottiers Moulin-à-Vent

SKU #1512673 93 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark Great interplay of ripe-cherry and chocolate notes from oak, plus some delicate spice. Excellent balance of full, fine tannins and just enough mineral freshness to make this enticing and give it a long life. Silky, long finish. Inner quote mark (3/2021)

93 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark A blend from seven vineyards, this wine has richness, a dense texture and concentration from old vines. Aged in wood for nine months, the wine offers a touch of toastiness alongside bright berry fruits. (RV) Inner quote mark (3/2021)

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Just bottled, the 2019 Moulin-à-Vent opens in the glass with a pure and youthfully primary bouquet of raspberries, red cherries and sweet wild berries. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's still tightly wound, but its concentration and energy bode very well for its positive evolution. (WK) Inner quote mark (5/2020)

The 2019 Beaujolais vintage is an exciting one, and a great example of why there is such enthusiasm is the 2019 Richard Rottiers Moulin-à-Vent. Beautiful aromas of red fruits, Asian spice, cinnamon, and sandalwood hint at what awaits the drinker on a palate that is awash in bright red cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate flavors. There's zesty acidity and crisp tannins with hints of limestone. If you want a wonderful introduction to Moulin-à-Vent, then you owe it to yourself to grab this wine.

Top Value! Drink from 2021 to 2028

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Gamay

- Ah, poor, oft-maligned Gamay. Once widely planted in Burgundy, today the grape is largely confined to Beaujolais. The varietal, officially called Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc is vigorous, early-ripening and can grow in cooler climates. The grapes naturally high acidity, low tannins and low potential alcohol lends itself to exuberant, fruity wines, ranging from the early-release Beaujolais Nouveau, to the more serious Cru Beaujolais from villages like Brouilly, Moulin-à-Vent and St-Amour that are steadily gaining in popularity (and can age remarkably well). Outside of Beaujolais, Gamay is also grown in small amounts around the Loire where it is called Anjou Gamay and Gamay de Touraine. It is also grown in Burgundy's Côte Chalonnaise where it is blended with Pinot Noir, as it is in Switzerland.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Beaujolais

- Region in east central France, often considered a part of Burgundy, but really quite distinct. The principal grape grown here is Gamay Noir. Familiar to many as the source of the Beaujolais Nouveau, the first wine of the vintage, Beaujolais is often fresh, fruity and very appealing red wine. Besides the straight Beaujolais, there is also Beaujolais Villages, and what is known as Cru Beaujolais. The 10 individual Crus, such as Moulin à Vent, Brouilly, Fleurie, Julienas, St. Amour and Chénas, each have their own character, and much more depth than someone who has only tried a simple Beaujolais could ever guess. These often represent value-priced, lovely, food-friendly wines.
