Dominique Piron Moulin A Vent

A Moulin-à-Vent from Dominique Piron. Moulin-à-Vent, named after its old windmill, is among the fuller, more structured of the ten Beaujolais crus and can age. Beaujolais reds are made from Gamay, usually with whole-bunch fermentation that keeps them fruity and low in tannin; the ten crus in the north, on granite soils, give the most structured wines.

Serve slightly cool, around 14–16°C, with charcuterie, roast chicken or pork.
