Dominique Piron Lameloise Moulin-à-Vent Vieilles Vignes 2011

Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceThis wine is from one single tiny vineyard (1.5ha) in Moulin-à-Vent planted to 120 year old gamay vines. Dark damson aromas, with spice, iris and inky blackberries carrying through to the palate. Very interesting and alluring mineral and granite notes, alongside bright black cherry, perfumed violets and grippy, firm tannins. Depth of flavours here is impressive; the wine delivers its pedigree not overtly, but quietly. Impressive now, but will cellar for another five years easy.
