#94 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2010

The Louis Jadot Moulin à Vent is a full, robust Beaujolais, with a fleshy, almost fat texture and greater longevity than any other Cru of the Beaujolais. The exceptional quality of its structure preserves a fruitiness which becomes mellow with bottle age.

It may be enjoyed after cellaring for 10 years or more (in good conditions of temperature and humidity). Then it will be perfect with red meat or game.

alcohol by volume: 13.0%
critical acclaim:

"Representing a blend from all five of their sites but favoring Champ de Cour and Carquelin, Chateau des Jacques’s 2009 Moulin-a-Vent smells of black and red raspberry, with heliotrope and lily overtones. With a striking and surprising sense of seamless oily-richness to its sweetly, exuberantly berry-brimmed palate impression, this reveals satisfying low-toned salted meat stock character that persists all the way through a lingering, lip-smacking finish. I suspect this already exceptional value will gain detail and finesse and be worth following for 4-6 years. "

The Wine Advocate

"Graphite and vanilla aromas mix with the pure raspberry coulis, fig and ripe cherry fruit in this bright, lively red. There's a sublayer of smoke and iron notes, as well as a lightly chewy finish. Drink now through 2014."

90 Points

Wine Spectator

"Bright purple. Spice-accented red and dark berries on the nose, with complicating notes of smoky minerals, dried flowers and black cardamom. Deep cherry-vanilla and black raspberry flavors provide very good palate coverage. Weightier on the finish, where the dark berry and floral notes linger with very good tenacity."

Only $18.99 for a Wine Spectator Top 100 wine, what a deal! Light & Fruity is not the perfect description for this wine because light makes it sound thin and it is not. This is a full bodied wine with lots of layers. What people don't realize is the fact that not only can you drink this wine now but it will age for at least 10 years if properly stored. I would suggest you buy a case while you can and have at least a bottle per year to see how it changes and continues to evolve. This is a great wine for Thanksgiving as it goes great with Turkey and also Easter because it pairs great with ham.

If you like the cru beaujolais wines like I do, then this is a wonderful example of how good they can be. Lighter, crisp, fresh, with the right amount of fruit. Very pleasant on the nose as well. Could (and did) drink this one all evening.
