Moulin-à-Vent Red 2019 | Wine from Domaine Louis Boillot

Red WineMoulin-à-Vent 2019 Domaine Louis Boillot

The Domaine Louis Boillot, from a renowned lineage of winemakers in Volnay, expanded to Beaujolais in 2013 with the acquisition of vineyards in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation. Louis Boillot, in collaboration with his wife Ghislaine Barthod, vinifies his wines in Chambolle-Musigny. Since 2019, his son Clément Boillot has been gradually taking the reins of the estate, bringing a modern approach with wines of pure fruit and integrated tannins, while respecting the terroirs.

The Moulin-à-Vent red 2019 from Domaine Louis Boillot is a consummate expression of the appellation. This wine is adorned with an intense ruby color, hinting at a beautiful maturity. On the nose, it exudes aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, accompanied by notes of licorice and wilted rose. On the palate, it reveals a robust structure with a beautiful aromatic complexity. Its oak barrel aging for 15 to 18 months adds a subtle woody touch, without masking the expression of the terroir. The finish is marked by silky tannins and a pleasant drinkability.
