Laurent Perrachon Moulin-a-Vent Terres Roses

Moulin-à-Vent Terres Roses from Domaine Laurent Perrachon is a red wine produced in the prestigious Beaujolais Cru appellation, Moulin-à-Vent. This Cru status guarantees higher quality and unique characteristics compared to Beaujolais Villages wines.

The grapes for this wine come from various plots (lieux-dits) within the Moulin-à-Vent appellation. The soil composition varies from granite with a high mineral content to clay-calcareous soils. This diversity contributes to the complexity of the wine. The average age of the vines is 50 years, resulting in concentrated grapes with intense aromas and flavors.

The grapes are harvested by hand, allowing selection for quality. The fermentation then takes place at low temperature in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine matures for 8 to 12 months, partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in large wooden foeders.

Moulin-à-Vent Terres Roses has an intense ruby red color with purple reflections. The nose is elegant and complex, with aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries, raspberries and blackberries, combined with floral notes of iris and roses, hints of herbs and spices and mineral nuances. The taste is powerful but elegant, with firm but ripe tannins, fresh acidity and a long, persistent aftertaste. The wine has a complexity that further develops during maturation.

Wine - Food pairing

Moulin-à-Vent Terres Roses is an excellent accompaniment to various dishes. Perfect with grilled meat, stews, game dishes, charcuterie and hard cheeses. The wine can also be paired with poultry, provided the sauce is a bit stronger.
