Noëlla Morantin
Momu 2020

Aromatically this is a textbook example of the grape; plush, brightly-toned notes of red berries, charred capsicum and ground coffee are vibrant and upfront. On the palate the wine is glossy, with deep, sumptuous fruit and gentle bitters leading into detailed granular tannins and a stony, mineral backbone. Find out more.

Elisa Guerin
'La Vigne de Mon Pere' Moulin-à-Vent 2022

A wonderful example of what this cru can offer. Often making some of the more structured, ageworthy Beaujolais, here a balance of muscularity and elegance is on display. A wide-open aromatic profile leads to dark, inky fruits with an almost Burgundian character. Find out more.

Pur Breton 2023
