Domaine Diochon Moulin-a-Vent 2017

The 2017 vintage in Beaujolais has some of the power of 2015 without the high alcohol, and that balance is beautifully expressed in this classic, deep expression of Moulin-à-Vent. An intense but engagingly aromatic nose of roses, violets, strawberries, raspberries, and licorice leads into a serious palate that’s firm, chewy, and gripping with vibrant acidity. Drink now with food or hold for a few years to see how the best wines of Beaujolais age.
