The wine region of Moulin-à-Vent
Beaujolais cru nicknamed "the lord", the most structured, age-worthy reds of the 10 crus. Signature Gamay noir: deep ruby robe with signature notes of black cherry, plum, violet, iris, sweet spices and a mineral iron touch, firm tannins and a dense palate — close to Burgundian Pinot Noir with age (5-15 years). Terroir: friable pink granite arenas ("gore") and manganese veins, signing intensity. ~670 ha.
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Cellar master
The cellar master is the technical manager of a winery (usually a professional oenologist), who presides over and oversees the wine-making process and its maturation. Unlike an oenologist in a wine laboratory, who intervenes on an ad hoc basis to assist the winemaker, the cellar master is part of the estate's technical team.
