Moulin-à-Vent Rouge Vieilles Vignes 2015 | Wine from Domaine Louis Boillot

Red Wine Moulin-à-Vent Vieilles Vignes 2015 Domaine Louis Boillot

The Domaine Louis Boillot is a family-run estate with a rich history in the wine world, rooted in Volnay, Burgundy. Coming from a lineage of winemakers, Louis Boillot worked with his father and brother at Domaine Lucien Boillot before founding his own estate in 2003 in Chambolle-Musigny, where he works alongside his wife, Ghislaine Barthod. In 2013, Louis made a bold move by acquiring vineyards in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation, in Beaujolais. Since 2019, his son Clément has gradually been taking over, bringing a fresh perspective with wines offering a purity of fruit and better-integrated tannins, while respecting the terroir. The wines from the estate are aged in oak barrels for 15 to 18 months, without clarification or filtration.

The Moulin-à-Vent Vieilles Vignes 2015 from Domaine Louis Boillot is a wine of great elegance and remarkable aromatic complexity. Made from old Gamay vines, this red wine is characterized by an intense ruby color and aromas of ripe red fruits, accompanied by notes of licorice and wilted rose. On the palate, it reveals a beautiful structure, with silky tannins and a persistent finish. This 2015 vintage is particularly appreciated for its richness and balance, offering a perfect marriage between power and finesse.
