Albert Bichot Moulin-A-Vent Rochegres 2018

A floral, mineral style rather than the rich savouriness of other examples. It's juicy and fruity, with fine, tannins and a long finish. Château des Jacques makes this Gamay with techniques more often use for traditional high quality Pinot Noir.

This wine comes from a five-acre vineyard in the domaine. Aged partly in barrels, it has intense red-cherry fruits and acidity that contrast with the dry tannins. Those tannins are the secret behind the wine's considerable potential.
