MOULIN A VENT - Vignes de 1903 - Yohan Lardy 2017
Yohan Lardy is a young winemaker from the Beaujolais. He owns a few hectares of old Gamay vines, on plots planted in 1911 and 1950 on the heights of Cru Moulin-à-Vent, in the "Les Michelons" climate. Harvests are manual and the vinification is done in whole clusters with indigenous yeasts, without any input. The estate is in the process of obtaining High Environmental Value certification. The wines are aged in oak barrels to obtain the best possible balance between fruit and tannins.
The Moulin-à-Vent Vignes de 1903 comes from Gamay vines planted in 1903 on a micro-terroir of 75 ares. At the time, the work was already manual and natural and Yohan Lardy knew how to keep the work of the past while respecting the terroir with particular care. The aging of 9 months in old Burgundy barrels gives this cuvée a beautiful texture. It can be kept for fifteen years.
