Reine de Nuit stammer også fra lieu-dit’en Aux Caves og har fået tilnavnet nattens dronning, fordi druerne er høstet om natten. Den har imponerende koncentration og dybde uden at tynge. Den berømte jernnæve i fløjlshandsken. Kaskader af mørk, lakridset, pebret frugt med stenede tendenser myldrer op af glasset og dirigerer løjerne fra start til slut. Helt ubesværet og saftspændt, et dirrende energibundt med kæmpe potentiale og en utrolig længde. Et superkøb. Point: 94 | Pris: 184,95 kr. v/ 6 fl. | Forhandler: Supervin

Winewherever, Rasmus Christensen

Her har de gamle vinstokke leveret en kraftfuld juice til denne vin. Den kommer galoperende med mørke modne bær, krydderurter, salmiaklakrids og sort te. Tanninerne er kraftfulde og giver den et standhaftigt og langtidsholdbart udtryk. En Beaujolais ud over det sædvanlige.

James Suckling

How can you resist this truly extraordinary wine that redefines Beaujolais? Extremely concentrated yet also incredibly elegant, it has an almost supernatural vibrancy that blasts its way out of the conventions of the appellation. The delicate salinity adds an extra dimension of tension in the finish, making this dangerously exciting. Yes, there’s a cornucopia of black fruit, but none of this extravagance is too much. From a five-hectare block of vines in the Aux Caves lieu-dit.

Bacchus

Simply exceptional! With this “Moulin-à-Vent”, Anita Neveu brilliantly expresses all the power and elegance that Gamay is capable of when cultivated with passion. An outstanding winemaker, she embodies a new generation of women in the wine world, combining respect for traditions and creative audacity. In short, Anita Neveu is the alliance of precision and emotion, and this “Reine de nuit” vintage is the perfect reflection. On the nose, it is a real bouquet of perfumes that deploys aromas of cherry, strawberry, blueberry and wild blackberry, punctuated by floral, spicy and peppery touches. On the palate, it is an explosion of flavors. The tannins are superbly integrated, providing structure and finesse. The fruit unfolds with a gourmet intensity. We find this typical freshness of the “Moulin-à-Vent”, balanced by a charming roundness, which leads to a persistent, almost saline finish, recalling the deep roots of this wine in its exceptional terroir.

Wine Enthusiast

Picked at night to preserve the brightness of the fruit, this wine is powerfully rich, with an open structure and great freshness. It has the structure to age splendidly, densely textured and full of ripe fruits.

Robert Parker

The 2022 Moulin-à-Vent Reine de Nuit is wonderfully aromatic on the nose with notes of crunchy black fruits, lilac petals, licorice and candied peel. The wine is medium to full-bodied and rounded with a salivating core of ripe fruit, framed by a layer of slate-like salinity and wispy tannins, with impressive length and a mouthwatering, poignant finish. Refined, yet oh-so generous, this is a standout for the lineup and comes highly recommended.

Decanter

Harvested at night to preserve freshness in the grapes, this 'Queen of the Night' is all about bright violet florals tumbling and twirling from the glass. These are blended with ripe blueberries, gorgeously intense, juicy blackberries, wild strawberries, sweet violets and cinnamon twisted round red apple skin. There is a lovely grip and freshness on the finish.
