Moulin-à-Vent Les Rouchaux
2018
La viticulture et le commerce du vin font partie intégrante des activités familiales depuis le début du 18e siècle. Les établissements vinicoles C.Marey et Comte Liger-Belair, qui ont été fondés en 1720 à Nuits-Saint-Georges et dont les actions ont été introduites à la Bourse de Lyon en 1923, figuraient parmi les maisons de négoce les plus importantes de la Bourgogne.

Dark ruby. A powerful, highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh dark berries, candied flowers and Asian spices, and a minerally nuance adds vivacity. Sweet, spicy and focused on the palate, offering juicy boysenberry and cherry compote flavors that spread out gracefully with aeration. Suave, seamless and powerful yet lithe, displaying excellent finishing clarity, subtle tannins and a whiplash of sweet blue fruit.

Strong reduction flattens the nose. Otherwise there is good richness to the fleshy and relatively forward middle weight flavors that possess good punch and detail on the well-balanced finish.

A notably ripe but fresh nose of pepper, floral hints and essence of earthy red berry fruit scents. There is excellent richness to the utterly delicious and seductively textured flavors that possess fine concentration on the balanced and persistent finish. Worth a look.

There is a slightly leafy character to the earthy red and dark berry fruit aromas. The
middle weight flavors possess a lovely sense of energy and fine detail that continues onto the attractively textured, complex and relatively refined finale. This is really quite good and should drink well both young and fully mature.
Very dark crimson. Elegant, dark-red fruit. Attractively dusty sensation. Dry and a little more herbal. Tight and dry and zesty. Great finesse and upright, fine-boned structure. More austere than the Vieilles Vignes. Dry and a little bony on the palate. Rocky and dark, with a beautifully dry chalky texture. With time in the glass, it develops a fresh, slightly stemmy herbal character but not in the least underripe, almost minty. A complete baby. Later this went very well with the braised turbot and woodland mushrooms though still not giving its full aromatic potential.

This is still a bit aromatically raw as there are residual fermentation aromas in evidence.
There is good verve, detail and concentration to the delicious and solidly complex middle weight flavors that possess lovely
balance and length. This is a relatively refined version of the appellation.
Plump, juicy and resonant in the glass, the 2012 Moulin-à-Vent Les Rouchaux stands out for its purity of fruit and open, supple personality. Dark red cherry and plum notes ring out in a beautifully expressive and generous Moulin a Vent with tons of near-term appeal.
