Moulin à Vent Clos de la Roilette 2022

The wine

Clos de la Roilette, ideally situated at the heart of the village of Fleurie, is renowned for its traditionally crafted wines. The Gamay vines, averaging 45 years in age, are carefully cultivated following sustainable viticulture principles. The grapes are hand-picked once they have reached optimum ripeness, to perfectly preserve this high-quality raw material. In the winery, a traditional whole-cluster vinification process is implemented. The cuvée then undergoes a well-mastered ageing process in used oak ‘foudres’ (large wooden tuns) before being bottled.
A deep garnet-red colour with purple tints reveals a delicate nose of vanilla combined with notes of intense red fruit. The full, silky palate is beautifully graced by smooth tannins leading to a long, delicious perfectly balanced finish.

About the Producer Clos de la Roilette

Clos de la Roilette spans 9 hectares on one of the best crus of the Beaujolais, Fleurie. Alain Coudert took over from his father in 1987, who had inherited the domain twenty years earlier. Alain Coudert farms his vines sustainably and produces three cuvée of Fleurie and one cuvée of Brouilly. Excellent-quality wines!
