As our pal Jancis Robinson says, Moulin-A-Vent is the noblest of the Beaujolais cru. The wines are more "serious", more structured and complex. This particular bottling has dark fruit on the nose and palate, with savory structure and earthiness to bring balance. Where lots of Beaujolais is light and playful, you might call this one "brooding" in comparison. Lots going on!
