Louis Latour Moulin-à-Vent: The King of Cru Beaujolais

Sourced from the prestigious Moulin-à-Vent appellation, this Louis Latour expression is often referred to as the 'King of Beaujolais' for its depth and longevity. Unlike lighter Beaujolais, this Cru is vinified to showcase the powerful structure imparted by its unique pink schist and granite soils. A truly sophisticated Gamay that offers the complexity and aging potential often associated with its neighbour, Burgundy’s Pinot Noir.

Tasting Profile

• Appearance: A rich, deep garnet hue.
• Aroma: A delicate yet complex bouquet of red fruits-notably raspberry and blackcurrant-followed by subtle, elegant spice notes of nutmeg and clove.
• Taste: The palate is beautifully silky, with refined tannins and a balanced texture. It delivers a persistent finish, highlighting the purity of the fruit and a subtle, earthy complexity.

Food Pairing & Ideal Service

Serve at cellar temperature (13°C-15°C) to allow its full aromatic range to emerge.

• Pairing: Excellent with substantial dishes like Beef Wellington, slow-cooked stews, or a selection of mature British cheeses.
• Storage: Built to last, it will evolve beautifully over 5 to 7 years.
