Château du Moulin-à-Vent Couvent des Thorins 2021 Review
This bottle from the historic Château du Moulin-à-Vent estate — which dates back to 1732 — delivers everything you might hope for from a cru Beaujolais. It's medium-bodied, high-acid, and fruit-forward, with bright notes of cranberries, cherries, and orange zest. But it's not just a chuggable bottle, this chillable red also offers great complexity, with flecks of black pepper and herbs on the finish.
