Tasting notes
Opening in the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet berries, vine smoke, spices and orange rind, the 2020 Moulin-à-Vent Clos du Grand Carquelin is medium to full-bodied, ample and lively, with powdery tannins, bright acids and a refined, elegant profile that belies the inherent power of the vintage, concluding with a long finish.

Rich damson fruit on the nose. A touch more savoury than the Rochegrès, perhaps a little more stemmy/leafy. Likewise on the palate, more chewy, but really satisfying balance between fruit and structure. (JH)
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
