Château des Jacques Moulin-à-Vent (2018)

A blend of 8 single vineyards, the Moulin-à-Vent 2017 presents a deep garnet-color. Its complex nose reveals aromas of violets, ripened red fruit and black pepper. The freshness of these granitic terroirs balances well the remarkable richness and texture. Moulin-à-Vent pairs perfectly with lighter red meat dishes.

Tasting Notes

91 Robert Parker
Aromas of blackberries, violets, candied peel and spices introduce the 2018 Moulin-à-Vent, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine with succulent acids, a generous core of fruit and fine, powdery tannins. This is a pure and generous, comparatively fruit-driven wine from the Château des Jacques.

90 Decanter
A blend from eight single vineyard sites. Some oak is evident on both nose and palate but adds extra depth and structure to this classy Moulin-à-Vent. There is good purity of fruit here with an appealing mix of forward fruit ripeness and cleansing acidity to finish. Good example of this Cru which is appealing now but has the stuffing to age for three-plus years.

90 Wine Spectator
Pureed black cherry and raspberry notes are backed by plush tannins and vivid acidity. Rich accents of anise and dried violet give depth through the finish. Drink now through 2026.
