Château du Moulin-à-Vent Description
Les Vérillats is one of the earliest delineated terroirs of Moulin-à-Vent. Located above the windmill, on the top of the appellation, it has an eastern exposure with a panoramic view. The granite soil is exceptionally sandy — atypical for a great terroir of this appellation— 60 cm deep and well-drained. It is layered over a bedrock of pink granite that is rich in iron oxide, copper and manganese. The vineyard lies in the corridor of drying winds that exert a positive effect on the maturation and concentration of the grapes.
Les Vérillats has a deep red color with an intense nose of black fruit, unusual for the appellation. The mouth is full and supple, with a delicious smoothness balanced by the freshness of the fruit and spices.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Elegant and enticing, with perfumed dried flowers and strawberry fruit leather backed by refreshing mineral energy. A smoked meat note weaves through the seamlessly integrated palate, with structure, ripeness and savory acidity all in perfect alignment.
