Domaine de Colette Moulin-à-Vent
A luscious Red wine with evocative iris, rose, and red berry aromas, complemented by silky tannins
Domaine de Colette Le Mont Moulin-à-Vent, France, is a bright, luscious Red (still) wine, dry in style, crafted from Gamay grapes. The vinification involves partial destemming and 15-18 days of vatting, followed by 10 months of maturation in vats, resulting in a full-bodied wine with silky tannins. It offers evocative aromas of iris, rose petal, spice, and red berries. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs beautifully with venison, roast lamb, or various roast vegetable dishes. Its complexity is enhanced by manganese-rich granitic soils and old vines.
