Wine:

Supported by one of the most outstanding vintages of the decade, the 2020 Red Moulin-à-Vent Hommage is both substantial and classy. At this price point, it's a delightful achievement: a nose bursting with ripe, shimmering fruit, evoking violet and rose, raspberries, and fresh cherries. The palate is just as captivating, full-bodied and smooth, presenting a fresh, juicy, and refined wine with silky tannins. A marvel that balances concentration and lightness, it's already incredibly approachable but also suitable for aging for those who can wait. Outstanding. Rated 95/100 by the Committee.
