Wines
The entire crop is hand-picked and carefully sorted before being put into vats. The grapes are kept in temperature controlled vats.
This method allows for fruit aromas as well as subtle and delicate aromatic reminders of the Moulin a Vent terroir to be gently extracted from the Gamay grapes.
The final and perfect balance of our wines is achieved through temperature controlled fermentation and barrel aging throughout the whole winter season.
Moulin à Vent
This well-balanced wine has typical aromas of violet with an emphasis on fruit, and comes from nine different vineyards of the Gamay varietal, which are located throughout the Moulin a Vent appellation. The refinement and richness of this wine is revealed by a soft wine making technique, maceration under CO2 and a six-month aging process in wooden vats and barrels
Moulin à Vent
Climat Champ de Cour
This unique wine comes from 0.80 ha of old vines, which are located in the heart of the renowned ‘Champ de Cour’ terroir. It is surprisingly crisp and complex; it went through a partial CO2 maceration process during 12-15 days, a ten-month aging process in barrels, and is not filtered.
Manganèse Rosé
This wine comes from a small vineyard planted with Gamay grapes. It has strong aromas of blackcurrant. The use of cold temperatures stops the fermentation process. The result is a deliciously sweet and refreshing wine, low in alcohol (9.5 % Alc. Vol.). The name of this wine, Manganese, comes from the fact that the region where the grapes are grown is rich in manganese seams.
Manganèse Rosé
Pétillant
The sparkling Manganese Rose is different from other sparkling wines. It has strong aromas of pears and peaches. I always make sure there are enough natural sugars in the wine and I keep a low level of alcohol (8% Alc. Vol.). The use of cold temperatures stops the fermentation process, thus preventing the use of too many sulfites. This wine is best consumed as an “aperitif” before a meal, or with some dessert. The terroir where the grapes are grown is rich in manganese seams, hence the name of the wine.
