Q

Describe style - Moulin-à-Vent

A

-dark, surprisingly tannic
named for a historic windmill
-longest-lived, most full-bodied, and most tannic Beaujolais cru
-may see a noticeable amount of new oak, warranted by the greater power and concentration of the cru.
-soft, pink granitic soil (gore) on gently contoured, east-facing slopes
-heightened presence of manganese stunts growth and naturally limits yields.
