Domaine Paul Janin et Fils - Moulin-à-Vent - Rouge - 2022

Wine:

You won't find this wine anywhere else – it's unique to us! This blend hails from the prestigious Moulin à Vent terroirs of the Janin estate, meticulously crafted by winemaker Eric Janin in collaboration with our very own sommelier, Christian.

After three dedicated attempts, the exclusive 2022 Ventealapropriete Moulin-à-Vent was born! For us, it encapsulates the essence of the appellation: an aromatic infusion of licorice mingled with the scents of ripe black cherries, sophisticated elegance, a full-bodied mid-palate that underscores the depth and freshness of the 2022 vintage. There's an invigorating energy that sparks your palate, that renowned salinity echoing the minerality drawn from the old vineyards that birthed this wine. The ratings are high, and rightfully so, with a unanimous score of 95-97/100!
