Moulin-à-Vent is one of the 10 individual growths in the Beaujolais. The appellation of Moulin-à-Vent straddles the communes of Romanèche-Thorins and Chénas, taking its name from the old windmill in the heart of the vineyards. Les Michelons is a single vineyard chosen by Maison Louis Latour for its ideal southerly exposure and gently inclined slope. The wine has a remarkably deep richness of bouquet and intense savour requiring some ageing to reveal its full potential. It is the longest lived of all Cru Beaujolais.
Tasting note
Strawberry, raspberry and cherry on the nose combined with a warming smoky aromas. The palate is concentrated and silky with ripe fruits and long finish.
