"Despite what its name seems to imply, Jadotâs 2009 Moulin-a-Vent La Roche comes from a deep, clay-rich site (right by the famous windmill) though one that is located over a vein of quartzite. De Castelnau insists that wine from this site is normally âunder woodâ at this stage, but I find this example especially free of extraneous aromas much less roughness or drying from its new barrels. Bright red raspberry and currant; cardamom and nutmeg; musky peony and narcissus perfume; as well as a flattering hint of salted caramel inform a wine exhibiting a delicious counterpoint of richness and brightness; plushness and lift. This finishes with virtually vibratory intensity of interaction between fruit, spice, and pungent, saline, somehow seemingly crystalline minerality. What a tribute to its vintage, appellation, and producer this is, not to mention will be over the next . . . who can say, really, how many years!"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
