“La Rochelle”

4.21 ha: neighbour of “Vérillats”, facing south at an altitude of 280 meters, on granites rich in silica and clay. 

The wines are multidimensional, complete, and can be austere in their youth. 

About the vintage 2014

Very good vintage. Between maturity and acidity, 

the wines are very well balanced and representative of Moulinà-Vent.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby. Powerful, deep-pitched raspberry liqueur, cherry and floral pastille aromas are lifted and sharpened by a peppery element. 

Rich and fleshy but energetic as well, offering appealingly sweet red fruit and spicecake flavors that show excellent concentration and are given spine by juicy acidity. 

Smoothly plays power off vivacity and finishes very long and sappy, with silky tannins lending shape and gentle grip.
