Christophe Pacalet Moulin A Vent 2017

Christophe Pacalet Moulin A Vent 2017From soils of pink granite infiltrated here and there with veins of manganese, the gamay grape produces fine wines of a beautiful, brilliant ruby color, with very violet notes and pure and faded roses on the nose. A fruity wine in its youth which is rich and nuanced, that aged in time to the flavors of the classic wines of the Beaune. A long term wines (10 years)

Crop yield per hectare: 65 q

Campeon is very proud in that they do not use charred oak

Enormously ripe and lush

The Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2011 is deep mauve - an impressive color and brightness

it goes well with entrées such as a traditional chicken liver terrine

berries and violet

gooseberries and lemon zest

I love the saline finish and the minerality that comes through

From the gently rolling wheat fields of Moldova

then morphs into dark

an elegant mouthfeel and focused acidity lead to a long finish

On the palate a bold attack develops into wonderfully persistent freshness revealing white aromas followed by a mineral finish
