Domaine A.F. Gros, Moulin à Vent En Mortperay 2020

Domaine A.F. Gros’s Moulin-à-Vent En Mortperay 2020 brings together the elegance of Pinot Noir with one of Beaujolais’ most respected crus, delivering a wine of real depth, finesse, and structure. From the prized En Mortperay site, it offers a more serious, age-worthy expression of Moulin-à-Vent that reflects both the terroir and the estate’s Burgundian precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby colour with a refined, translucent sheen. The nose is expressive and layered, with notes of red cherry, raspberry, violet, subtle spice, and a faint earthy mineral edge. On the palate, it is supple yet structured, combining juicy red fruit with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and a savory, slightly floral finish. While already attractive in youth, this 2020 has the concentration and balance to develop beautifully over time, gaining complexity with 5–10 years of cellaring, and potentially longer under ideal conditions.

Production
En Mortperay is a well-regarded site in Moulin-à-Vent, known for producing wines with more structure and longevity than many other Beaujolais cuvées. The vineyard’s granite-rich soils, coupled with its exposure and natural drainage, help create a wine with lift, tension, and depth. Vinification is carried out with a focus on preserving purity of fruit and site expression, typically using careful harvesting and thoughtful cellar work to retain freshness while building texture.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast chicken, duck breast, veal, mushroom dishes, and charcuterie, as well as richer vegetarian plates such as lentil stew or wild mushroom tart. Serve at around 15–17°C, and consider a brief decant of 30–45 minutes if drinking young to allow the aromatics to open fully.
