{"product_id":"moulin-a-vent-chateau-des-moriers-natural-wine","title":"Moulin-a-Vent 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eChateau des Moriers Moulin-a-Vent 2018 is a 100% Gamay from the lieu-dit Les Moriers, straddling the border of Fleurie and Moulin-a-Vent in northern Beaujolais. The estate's oldest vines are 65 years and older, planted in poor pink granite soils with sandy clay. The 2018 vintage delivered small, concentrated berries after a hot, dry summer that followed the most humid first quarter since 1964 — fruit ripened early and with intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is made using semi-carbonic vinification, with aging in old and new 400-liter barrels. Minimal sulfites are used, added only before bottling. The result is a structured, deep-fruited Moulin-a-Vent with the earthy depth and aging potential the appellation is known for — the 2018 scored 95\/100 from James Suckling senior editor Stuart Pigott, who compared its aging curve to Gevrey-Chambertin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChateau des Moriers farms organically and has done so for generations, with a belief in regenerative agriculture. The estate sits on approximately 9 hectares of pink granite at the foot of La Brirette's slopes. Gilles Monrozier and his daughter Anne-Victoire ran the domaine through the 2018 vintage; the estate has been in the family since 1855.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoulin-a-Vent is the most age-worthy of the ten Beaujolais crus. Its pink granite soils are threaded with manganese, which limits vine vigor, reduces yields, and concentrates flavor. With time, these wines undergo a process the French call 'pinoter' — developing a bouquet similar to aged Pinot Noir, with notes of truffle, musk, and forest floor layering over the initial black cherry and violet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau des Moriers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37692979970247,"sku":"MORIMOUL18C","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/domaine-des-morieres-moulin-a-vent-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186652","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/moulin-a-vent-chateau-des-moriers-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
