Beaujolais Moulin a Vent Les Thorins

This Moulin-à-Vent is in many ways more like a serious Burgundy than what many people expect from a Beaujolais. This has something to do with the cru Moulin-à-Vent, which is known for its usually powerful style, but especially with the winemaker, Jean-Paul Brun.

This special cru from Jean Paul Brun is particularly structured for a Beaujolais. Powerful with great refinement. Impressive to drink now with a refined meal, or to enjoy after about three to five years in the bottle.

Jean-Paul Brun winery

Unlike many other producers in Beaujolais, Brun makes his wines exactly as they do in northern Burgundy. The pinot noir here only makes way for gamay. He also does this in a very puristic way by using exclusively grape yeasts. He also refrains from chaptalization (adding sugar for a higher alcohol content) and adding sulphite in his wines.

The grapes for this Moulin-à-Vent come from a single vineyard called Les Thorins. This special plot is located near the mill that gave the cru its name. After the harvest, the gamay ferments and matures in oak barrels.
