This Moulin-à-Vent is very powerful, concentrated, and well-defined. The aroma and flavor work beautifully together to evoke an assemblage of ripe red fruits such as raspberries, cherries and pomegranates, yet the variety is not overwhelming. The point of this wine is not to give you a mouthful of different tones, but to impress with its depth and precision. Light, smooth, and quite acidic, this wine is a beautiful illustration of how top grape quality, winemaking skill and modern thinking thrive together at the ancient estate of Château des Bachelards. If you like collecting, this one’s for you with at least a decade’s aging potential.
