From 75cl, synthetic cork, decanted 30 minutes, best at 1 hour after opening, deteriorated thereafter. Friendly, low-acid, soft, juicy, but sorely lacking MàV iron or vibrancy, let alone layering or complexity. Fine quaffing wine at an appropriate price, ready to drink now-2026. 88-89P

Medium ruby with some blue. Black cherry, autumn leaves, forest floor, wild strawberry, oak, mushroom, balsamic, black olive. Iron on palate. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, medium body. Very pleasant.

PnP. Drinking quite well, with deep, ripe fruit notes reflective of the warm 2018 vintage. I wish it had a bit more lift and structure to balance out the ripe fruit. But overall a very pleasant and easy going cru Beaujolais.

Si j'avais été à l'aveugle, au premier nez je serais parti direct en Languedoc ! On se dit que la chaleur du millésime a dû jouer, et on craint la première gorgée, mais heureusement la bouche ne suit pas le nez et retrouve l'identité beaujolaise, sur la finesse, et un superbe équilibre entre fruit (plutôt cerise), acidité intégrée, et un léger début d'évolution (mais c'est encore timide). Tout le monde adore, ça file vite, pas d'alcool ressenti, bouteille très réussie.

I’ve had the Pierre-Marie Chermette Fleurie before, and was not impressed. This wine seems proportionately (it’s a different cru) much better. More intense nose, more intense flavors, and more complexity. Lovely classic Beaujolais flavors: ripe dark fruit, a bit of earth, dark cherry, and some floral notes. Almost no tannins, somewhat surprising for a Moulin a Vent. Quite delicious and enjoyable.
Drinking very well right now. While I can see this aging for another few years, 2055 is way over the top.
