Moulin-à-Vent „Champ de Cour“ AOC 2018

The Champ de Cour site in Moulin-à-Vent covers 31 hectares, of which the Chastels own 1.2 hectares. The site is located southeast of the village centre on deep weathered granite and on Piedmont, old alluvial alluvium. The Gamay noir à jus blancas it is called in full - there is also solid-coloured Färber Gamay - is around 50 years old and yields between 25 and 35 hl/ha. After hand harvesting and sorting, whole bunches were used. Undamaged berries were placed at the bottom of the concrete cuve, bruised ones on top, so that the Gamay had a Macération semi-carbonique could pass through. The wine was then aged in cement tanks for one year.

The fragrance of the Champ de Cour a ripe fruit of red and dark berry compote as well as crushed dark raspberries and wild strawberries and some blackberries. There are also notes of ripe black cherries, star anise and a little cinnamon, bresaola and violets. It comes across as warm and spicy with a cool stony draw.

On the palate the Moulin-à-Vent impressively juicy and fleshy, powerful and muscular, at the same time silky elegant with a refined acid structure and a fine extract. The fruit appears dark and is interspersed with spices, it is concentrated and ripe, but always clear and precise.
