WINE DESCRIPTION
Located to the south of Lyon, Château du Moulin-à-Vent stands as a prominent estate in the Burgundy region. It takes its name from a historic windmill, a 300-year-old landmark that still overlooks the Les Thorins area. The wines produced here, exclusively from 100 percent Gamay grapes. This estate, founded in 1732 in Romanèche-Thorins, occupies a strategic position between Mâcon and Villefranche-sur-Saône, within the Beaujolais wine region, which, while part of Burgundy geographically, boasts its own unique character in crafting predominantly Gamay red wines. Under the stewardship of the Parinet family, who took over management, Château du Moulin-à-Vent continues its quest for wine excellence, drawing from its 37-hectare vineyard spread across La Rochelle, Le Champ de Cour, and Les Vérillats parcels, all dedicated to the Gamay grape variety.
