Moulin à Vent
situation
This production area stretches to the borders of two departments
Romanèche-Thorins in Saône et Loire and Chénas in the Rhône.
It is the oldest cru of the Beaujolais area. Its name comes from an antique
mill on a hill overlooking Romanèche-Thorins, the only of its kind in the area.
TRENEL’s MOULIN A VENT comes only from hamlets of “Chassignol”,
and Domain of “la Tour du Bief “.
tasting
Deep garnet colour with purple tints. A fine, fruity nose of red fruits
with underlying, smoky notes of undergrowth and humus. Plenty of structure,
but with ripe tannins.
A powerful Moulin à Vent absolutely typical of its terroir, still in its youth.
HOW TO DRINK AND SERVE
This is a wine which ages very well. When mature, MOULIN A VENT should
be served between 15°C to 16°C (59°F to 61°F) with red meat,
game and tasty cheese.
