Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Moulin-à-Vent is often called the most 'Burgundian' of the Beaujolais crus, and this Mommessin bottling shows why — dark cherry and violet aromas are grounded by a firm earthy backbone and more structure than you'd expect from Gamay. Mommessin is a reliable négociant with long roots in the region, and their Moulin-à-Vent typically offers a savoury, food-friendly style that can reward a year or two in the cellar. Being NV, it's likely blended for consistency rather than vintage expression, so expect approachable but characterful drinking.
