2015 Moulin-à-Vent “Vieilles Vignes”
Domaine Diochon
★ $24.00
This vintage may put the whole “I don’t drink Beaujolais” thing to rest once and for all. Try the 2015 on your most recalcitrant anti-Beaujolais acquaintance. It’s got guts and brawn, deep, dark color and layers of flavor,with a fruit profile bordering on Pinot. As the price of land in Burgundy shoots through the roof, Burgundians are buying up acreage at a record pace in the Beaujolais—and, nine out of ten times, in Moulin-à-Vent in particular. No surprise that they call this the most “Burgundian” of the Cru Beaujolais. –Chris Santini
