Chateau Moulin a Vent can be traced back to 1732, when it was known as Chateau des Thorins, named after the hamlet “Les Thorins” in Beaujolais. The vineyards planted with Gamay already had a reputation for producing wines of high quality, so much so when King Louis XIV himself tasted the wines, he declared it fit for a king and his court.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Raised in older barriques as well as tank and sourced primarily from the Les Caves, La Roche and Le Moulin-a-Vent lieux-dits, Chateau du Moulin-a-VentâÇÖs âÇúgrand vinâÇ 2011 Moulin-a-Vent âÇô which I last tasted from tank soon after its assemblage and just ahead of its end-of-year bottling âÇô features richly ripe black raspberry with distilled framboise and holly berry overtones. A bite of black pepper and clove adds to the piquancy on a firm palate and reinforces the spicy influence of toasty (albeit here previously used) barrels. While less alluringly savory or floral (for now, at least) than its ostensibly lesser âÇúLes Terrasses du ChateauâÇ sibling, this undeniably musters more sheer intensity and persistence, its juiciness outlasting any oak influence. Look for fine performance through 2016.
