Chateau du Moulin-a-Vent Moulin-a-Vent 2011

Professional Ratings

• 91 James Suckling

  Slightly smoky, with dried cranberries, orange peel, strawberries and some savory, mossy fruit. A little rounder than the 2010, which was tasted alongside, with more generous red-berry fruit. Holding up nicely. Tasted in a vertical lineup of ten vintages in Hong Kong.

• 90 Wine & Spirits
  This wine’s tense black fruit carries notes of mushrooms and moss, an umami character that brings to mind the understory of a forest. The flavors are full on and potent, with enough richness to match roast quail or other game.
• 90 Wine Enthusiast
  This wine is soft and rounded, ready to drink with its rich black-fruit character and fully integrated tannins. It holds a blend from five different parcels on the estate, ripe in berry fruits and fragrant with the wood aging. Acidity gives a lift at the end.
