Presentation
The Moulin-à-Vent appellation covers a surface area of 1,600 acres in the north of the Beaujolais region.
Our 12.3-acre estate is ideally located at the heart of one of the 18 recognized Climats "Rochegrès", which, as its name (sandstone rock) would suggest, features outcrops of the granitic parent rock amid the vines.
The vines benefit primarily from southeastern exposure and thrive in poor, very pure, pink granitic soil. They are therefore obliged to plunge their roots deep down to get the nutrients they need.
Our Moulin-à-Vent "Le Roc" is crafted with grapes from different terroirs - "La Rochelle", "Au Mont" and the younger vines in "Rochegrès".
