Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 25, 2010 - Beautiful translucent purple. Complicated nose-candied cranberry, pine needles, and spice. Typical light Gamay weight, but this really packs a punch with its integrated, mouthwatering, powerful acids that exceed those in most of the other '09 Cru Beaujolais I've tasted. It has a layer of flesh and sweetness in the background, but right now, that is mainly suppressed by the acidity and a finish that is dripping with stone and a palpable sense of saltiness. I sometimes have problems with the tight structure and punishing leanness of Moulin a Vent, but I really admire what Jadot has accomplished with this wine. Serious stuff, definitely one to age.
