Olivier Merlin’s La Rochelle comes from old Gamay vines in one of Moulin-à-Vent’s top crus. Known for meticulous work in both Burgundy and Beaujolais, Merlin brings precision to this historic site.

Aged in large oak, it shows the structure and depth that define Moulin-à-Vent. A serious, age-worthy Gamay rooted in granite soils and careful hands.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 92
"This is also markedly floral with a plenitude of spice elements adding appeal to the ripe aromas of black cherry and ground pepper. The rich, concentrated and imposingly scaled flavors that possess not only a gorgeous mouthfeel but along solid power on the complex, balanced and very long finale. This moderately structured effort should both drink well young but also with up to a decade of keeping." -Allen Meadows

"The 2020 Moulin-à-Vent La Rochelle was showing quite a bit of reduction on the nose that made it difficult to read. The palate is smooth on the entry with dark berry fruit, a touch of salinity, cohesive with a smooth finish." -Neal Martin
