Moulin-à-Vent 2018 Clos des Thorins - Château des Jacques
Beautiful Beaujolais estate
94/100 Parker
Aging potential: 2023 - 2038
Tasted by Guillaume Kelley in 2020: "One of the most charming of these locality bottlings, even if it contains many reservations, is the 2018 Moulin-à-Vent Clos des Thorins, a dramatic and expressive wine that delivers aromas of plums, crushed blackcurrant, violet and cracked pepper. Quite powerful, fleshy and enveloping, its generous core of lively fruit revolves around a muscular framework of powdery tannins."
PRESENTATION OF THE CUVÉE
- Characteristics : A few steps away from the Moulin à Vent, this gently sloping south-facing hillside offers the Gamay a deeper and more altered granite than our climates that surround the historic monument.
- Vinification : Hand picked in small boxes, sorted and often destemmed, the grapes macerate slowly for three to four weeks. The fermentation is punctuated by punching down or pumping over, depending on the nature of the vintage.
- Aging and bottling: The wines are aged for 10 months in one, two and new oak barrels in our old 17th century cellar. The wood comes from the forests of the Nivernais, the Limousin and the Allier.
- Tasting / Pairings : Characterized by a fleshy fruit texture, this wine is full-bodied and displays a remarkable smoothness that frames the slightly muscular tannins. It is a perfect accompaniment to cuisine of character: game, charcuterie, strong cheese.
- Conservation : Two to three years are necessary for this wine to begin to deliver itself. Its potential life is several decades.
