Domaine Le Nid, Beaujolais Moulin A Vent Tradition 2021

Our Moulin-A-Vent Tradition cuvée is the result of a plot blend (100% Gamay noir), vinified using the traditional Beaujolais method, in whole bunches and semi-carbonical vinification, bringing roundness, substance, and this delicate acid frame, a guarantee of freshness and (almost) immediate drinkability. Ageing is carried out over 10 months in Foudre and concrete vats.

The cru of Moulin-à-Vent is generally considered the source of the potentially longest-lived, most structured Beaujolais. Here Jean-Paul Brun farms 4 hectares of 30-to-45-year-old vines whose roots break through the compact, old granite rock underlying the sandy granite topsoils.

Since the begining of the 20th century, date of its first exploitation, the wine estate has been family owned. 
Owned by our family since 2012, we cover the 8 hectares of vines with love and passion. 

Preserving our soils and therefore our vines, a constent leitmotif. Sustainable agriculture meets our expectations. It certainly engages us in a permanent control but it allows us in return to intervene on the grapes wisely 
at the slightest health alert. Biodiversity is doing well. All the work is done by hand on our 12 plots.  

We are 5 parents and children, Paul, Danielle, Delphine, Jocelyn & Stéphane Lardet. Epicureans at heart, anxious to bring the best to our land, we have named it « Le Nid / The Nest », a symbol of our unity and our fierce desire to preserve it. Our cellar master & oenologist bring us their precious help. 

The vinification is done in small containers so that each locality expresses itself and guarantees its authenticity. Varied breeding adapted to each of the plots is carried out on the estate, the fruit of numerous attemps punctuated by doubts and finally successes. 

Together, in the respect of the tradition, we redifined the vinification and ageing methods, and instilled a new spirit in line with our values : Family, Terroir, Hedonism, Authenticity.
