Domaine Anita Moulin-à-Vent Trés Vieilles Vignes Les Caves 2024

Wine-Searcher

Moulin-à-Vent – Possibly the most recognised of the ten Beaujolais Crus

James Suckling

Very cool, silky and precise in spite of the awesome old-vine depth. In fact, it has a personality that’s gentle and polite. The fine-grained texture on the medium-bodied palate makes you feel like you’re licking the granite soil of the site. I love the delicate spicy aromas and touch of red roses. There’s a dramatic mineral freshness in the emphatically dry finish. Fermented with a good proportion of whole-cluster then matured two-thirds in concrete tank and one-third in used Burgundian barrels.

Few people master the art of translating the essence of a vineyard like Anita Kuhnel. The “Les Caves” plot, the beating heart of this sublime “Moulin-à-vent”, embodies the soul of this exceptional land. Nestled in a region blessed with an ideal climate and fertile soil, the vines draw from it an unparalleled depth and intensity. Carefully aged, this racy and structured Beaujolais, with its dark velvet color, foreshadows the intensity of the wine that invites us to an aromatic symphony where blackberries, raspberries, plums and blackcurrants intertwine harmoniously, enhanced by floral, spicy and earthy notes. On the palate, it is particularly delicious and full-bodied, revealing silky tannins and asserting itself with astonishing richness. The flavors, precise and persistent, unfold at length, while the whole, both elegant and balanced, brilliantly captures the spirit of the terroir. It is a bold wine that offers a striking taste experience, brilliant in its ability to transmit the very essence of its origin.

WAUW for pokker ... nærmest aroma af hospitalsgang, banan, grøn peber samt tonsvis af kirsebær ... friske, syltede kirsebærsauce ribs og solbær ... er samtidig meget elegant med mælkede noter, jordbær og kirsebæryoghurt suppleret med let anstrøg af noget sødme med karamel og mælkechokolade, som binder det hele så smukt sammen med fin balance mellem frugt og tertiære noter. Det dufter sgu vildt saftigt og næsten æterisk med bondsk jordbundethed. Det smager fandeme også saftigt ... men samtidig voldsomt elegant med mundsmeltende, blød og lækker cremethed. Smagene kommer nærmest snigende ... først som det stille vand, men med vedvarende styrke, intensitet og vildskab. Det er igen kirsebær, sure jordbær og ribs, mens syren har en fin balance, der aldrig forstyrrer, hvilket gør vinen så inddragende, vedkommende og balanceret med lidt peber, citroner og en diskret jernagtig note i eftersmagen. 94 point. Det smager af mere og mere og mere og ... til prisen helt wacky. Forhandles af Supervin, hvor en flaske koster 299,95 kr., mens prisen er 139,95 kr. ved køb af 6 flasker. Den burde der bliver rift om

Vinous

The 2021 Moulin-à-Vent Très Vieille Vigne Les Caves comes from vines over 80-years old. It has an almost surly, backward bouquet that despite encouragement is not coming out to play, with hints of pressed iris flower reluctantly emerging. The palate is worth investigating: lovely balance, fine acidity, assiduous use of oak and a vibrant finish. Cellar this for 3-4 years to allow the aromatics to develop and you should have a wonderful Moulin-à-Vent.

Decanter

Fragrant nose of ripe perfumed fruit with a smoky character. Very interesting palate with soft enveloping fruit and fresh acidity.

Wine Enthusiast

The concentration of this wine comes from the old vines, giving richness and generous black fruits as well as dense tannins that will soften.

Winewherever, Rasmus Christensen

Enkeltmarksvin fra top cru’en Moulin-à-Vent. Det vælter ud af glasset med syrlige røde bærnoter, laurbærblade og krydderier. I munden har den en kæmpe friskhed, der står sammen med en juicy og frisk frugt. Vinen er spillevende og har en energi, der sparker ud til alle sider. Den vil udvikle sig positivt over adskillige år, hvis man altså kan holde fingrene fra den.
