The 2019 Georges Duboeuf Moulin-à-Vent is a classic Cru Beaujolais that showcases the power and structure of one of the region’s most prestigious appellations. Made from 100% Gamay grown on granite and manganese-rich soils, Moulin-à-Vent is often considered the most “Burgundy-like” of the crus, known for its ability to age and develop complexity. The nose is expressive and layered, offering violet, cherry and red berry aromas with subtle floral lift and spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a fleshy, structured texture and firm yet refined tannins. Flavours of black cherry, raspberry and plum are complemented by peppery spice and earthy undertones, leading to a long, balanced and persistent finish. The style is more serious and age-worthy than typical Beaujolais—combining richness with finesse and classic Moulin-à-Vent structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great step up into more structured Cru Beaujolais—ideal for customers who enjoy Burgundy but want something more approachable in price. The 2019 vintage offers both richness and balance, making it enjoyable now with decanting or suitable for aging. Drink now or over the next 5–10 years. Perfect with roast pork, duck, grilled meats or mushroom dishes.
