More About The Winery
At the southern edge of Burgundy, the Moulin-à-Vent appellation has been renowned for centuries as the “King of Beaujolais,” celebrated for wines of structure, elegance, and longevity. Château du Moulin-à-Vent, named after the historic 300-year-old windmill overlooking the vineyards, dates back to 1732 and stands as one of the region’s most iconic estates.
The domaine farms 37 hectares across the appellation’s finest climats — including Les Vérillats, Le Champ de Cour, and La Rochelle — planted exclusively to old-vine Gamay Noir, averaging 40 years of age. The granite-rich soils infused with iron oxide, copper, and manganese give the wines their hallmark depth, minerality, and ageing potential.
Since 2009, under the stewardship of the Parinet family, the estate has undergone major investment in both vineyard management and winemaking. The result is a collection of plot-specific cuvées that highlight the individuality of each terroir, delivering wines that rival Burgundy in finesse and cellar-worthiness.
