Louis Boillot 2022 Moulin-à-Vent Vieilles Vignes is a serious, finely sculpted expression of Gamay that balances depth with precision. Sourced from old vines, the wine opens with aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry, and plum, layered with violet, cracked pepper, and subtle hints of forest floor and iron-rich earth. On the palate it is concentrated yet poised, with firm, finely grained tannins and vibrant acidity giving structure and lift to the dense core of dark fruit. Notes of spice, graphite, and a touch of savory bitterness emerge toward the finish, which is long, mineral, and quietly powerful. This is a Moulin-à-Vent that speaks clearly of both old vines and thoughtful élevage, offering immediate pleasure while promising graceful development with time.
