Ch̢ateau des Jacques Moulin-a-Vent Clos du Grand Carquelin 2021.
A few steps away from the windmill itself, and separated from the la Roche vineyard by a small road, the Clos du grand Carquelin faces a little bit more towards the south and offers a different personality. Here the soil is made of granitic sands and is deeper (60m) and more clayish.
Vinification: Picked and sorted by hand, then often de-stemmed, the grapes macerate slowly over the course of three to four weeks. Pigeage and and pumping over takes place during fermentation depending on the vintage characteristics.
Winemaking and bottling: The wines are aged in our historic cellar for 10 months, a period spent in oak barrels, new and one, two years old. The oak used to make the barrels comes from the forests of Allier, Limousin and Nivernais.
Tasting / Food pairing: The Clos du Grand Carquelin is a particularly complex, delicate and elegant wine. It is appealing, lively and opens nicely once in a glass. This cru Beaujolais is a nice companion to delicately flavoured dishes.
