Exceptional parcels
at the heart of Moulin-à-Vent

The estate covers 7 hectares of vineyards, planted exclusively with Gamay Noir à jus blanc, the emblematic grape variety of Beaujolais. All our parcels lie within the Moulin-à-Vent appellation, renowned for producing the most structured and elegant wines of the region.

We are fortunate to cultivate some of the appellation’s most highly regarded parcels:

  • Moulin à Vent « Champ de Cour »
  • Moulin à Vent « Les Burdelines »
  • Moulin à Vent « Le moulin à vent »
  • Moulin à Vent « La Rochelle »
  • Moulin à Vent « Gros Vosges »

Each climat has its own nuances: exposure, soil structure, depth of granite, prevailing winds… This diversity gives our cuvées their complexity, their ageing potential and their distinct identity.

Moulin-à-Vent, a cru in its own right

Standing at 278 metres, the windmill that gives the appellation its name has watched over the vineyards since the 15th century. Listed as a historic monument, it symbolises the prestige and high standards of this fully fledged cru.

The Moulin-à-Vent appellation covers around 640 hectares, spread across two villages: Romanèche-Thorins (Saône-et-Loire) and Chénas (Rhône).

Its style is unique within Beaujolais. When young, the wine is floral and fruity (violet, cherry). With age, it develops aromas of dried rose, spice, truffle and forest floor. Structure, depth, elegance.

Moulin-à-Vent is often considered the cru closest to Burgundy in terms of ageing potential and aromatic complexity.
