Louis Boillot 2022 Moulin a Vent "La Rochelle" 750ml

The 2022 Louis Boillot Moulin-à-Vent “La Rochelle” offers a captivating and structured expression of Gamay from one of the cru’s top terroirs. In the glass it shows a luminous ruby core with crystalline edges, followed by an enticing nose of ripe black cherry and plum framed by floral violet and wild herb nuances, with hints of spice and subtle earthiness that reflect the granite-rich soils of La Rochelle. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied yet concentrated, with vibrant acidity bringing energy to a core of dark berry fruit and gentle mineral tension. Finely textured tannins lend a smooth, almost silky mouthfeel, evolving toward a long, focused finish where saline lift and peppery spice linger, giving the wine both freshness and depth. This is a poised, terroir-driven Moulin-à-Vent that bridges juicy immediate appeal with a structure promising further development in bottle.
