The 2022 Louis Jadot Château des Jacques Moulin-à-Vent is a beautifully structured Cru Beaujolais from one of the region’s benchmark estates, showcasing the depth, elegance and ageing potential that make Moulin-à-Vent the “King of Beaujolais.” Crafted from old-vine Gamay grown on granite-rich soils, the nose is intensely aromatic with red cherry, blackberry and plum layered alongside violet, spice, cedar and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with remarkable concentration, silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Juicy dark berry fruits, peppery spice and mineral nuances are balanced by freshness and fine structure, leading to a long, refined and savoury finish. The style combines the charm and vibrancy of Beaujolais with a Burgundian level of depth and sophistication.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Cru Beaujolais for customers who enjoy elegant, savoury and food-friendly reds with finesse and ageing potential rather than heavy oak or excessive richness. Perfect with roast chicken, duck, charcuterie, mushroom dishes or grilled meats. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar comfortably over the next 8–12 years.
