The 2020 Domaine Labruyère Moulin-à-Vent Cœur de Terroirs is a sophisticated and age-worthy Beaujolais crafted from select parcels within the prestigious Moulin-à-Vent appellation. Produced by Domaine Labruyère, a benchmark estate in the region, this wine showcases the depth, structure and complexity that have made Moulin-à-Vent one of Beaujolais’ most respected crus. The nose reveals aromas of black cherry, raspberry and plum, layered with floral notes, subtle spice and hints of earth and graphite.
On the palate, it is concentrated and elegant, with vibrant dark fruit flavours supported by fine tannins and fresh acidity. The texture is silky yet structured, offering impressive balance and depth, while savoury mineral notes add complexity through to a long, refined finish. The 2020 vintage combines power and finesse, with excellent potential for further development in bottle.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers seeking a serious, cellar-worthy expression of Gamay. While approachable now with decanting, it will continue to evolve beautifully over the next decade. Perfect with roast duck, lamb, game birds, mushroom dishes or classic French cuisine.
