Ripe Black Cherries, Violets, and Sovereign Moulin-à-Vent Terroir Structure

The 2022 Château des Jacques (Maison Louis Jadot) Moulin-à-Vent is a deeply concentrated, structured, and aristocratic expression from the "King of Beaujolais." Sourced from historic granite-rich vineyards, this bottling combines Burgundian winemaking tradition with the sunny richness and vibrant fruit depth of the warm 2022 vintage. Soaring aromas of ripe black cherries, wild blackberries, crushed violets, dark cocoa, and dried herbs lead into a medium-to-full-bodied palate framed by fine-grained, firm tannins and a long, savory mineral finish.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
James Suckling 92 pts
  • 92 Points - JamesSuckling.com: Minerally and savory Moulin-a-Vent showing wet stone, bark, strawberry and rosemary aromas. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and elegant with fine-grained tannins. Excellent length. Drink or hold.
  • The Renowned Pink Granite Terroir: Moulin-à-Vent is famously known as the most age-worthy and structured Cru in Beaujolais. Planted on pink granite soils rich in manganese, the site produces Gamay grapes with profound concentration, firm tannins, and deep mineral character.
  • Traditional Burgundian Vinification: Château des Jacques vinifies its Gamay using Burgundian methods—destemming the fruit and aging partially in French oak barrels. This approach yields a wine that "pinotes" with age, gaining complex floral, earthy, and spicy nuances akin to Côte de Nuits reds.

Highlights

  • 100% Gamay harvested from historic estate vineyards in Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais.
  • A radiant 2022 vintage packed with ripe black cherries, wild blackberries, violet petals, and dark cocoa.
  • Crafted by Château des Jacques (Maison Louis Jadot), offering 10 to 20+ years of cellar potential.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby-purple with brilliant crimson highlights at the rim.
  • Nose: Fragrant, complex, and dark. It opens with aromas of ripe black cherries, wild blackberries, and plum, accompanied by violet petals, dark cocoa, subtle spice, and crushed granite.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-to-full-bodied, and structured. The entry brings a rich wave of dark fruit sap that glides across a velvety mid-palate, held in check by fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity into a long, mineral-driven finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C to highlight its bright fruit purity and spicy floral aromatics.
  • Decanting: A brief 30-minute decant helps open its structured layers if enjoying young. Best enjoyed now through 2038+.
  • Western Pairing: Roast duck breast, pan-seared pork loin, rack of lamb, beef Bourguignon, or wild mushroom tart.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck, Char Siu (barbecue pork), Taiwanese braised pork belly, or roast goose.
