Château des Jacques Moulin-à-Vent Clos du Grand Carquelin 2022, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France

A few steps away from the windmill itself, and separated from the la Roche vineyard by a small road, the Clos du grand Carquelin faces a little bit more towards the south and offers a different personality. Here the soil is made of granitic sands and is deeper (60m) and more clayish. Vinification: Picked and sorted by hand, then often de-stemmed, the grapes macerate slowly over the course of three to four weeks. Pigeage and and pumping over takes place during fermentation depending on the vintage characteristics. Winemaking and bottling: The wines are aged in our historic cellar for 10 months, a period spent in oak barrels, new and one, two years old. The Clos du Grand Carquelin is a particularly complex, delicate and elegant wine. It is appealing, lively and opens nicely once in a glass. This cru Beaujolais is a nice companion to delicately flavored dishes.
