| Description: | We are excited to offer the fantastic, high scoring Domaine Anita Moulin a Vent Les Caves Beaujolais at an incredible price. This refreshing medium-bodied, dry red wine immediately caught our attention when we tasted it and were blown away by the purity, intensity and freshness of the fruit. The wines of Domaine Anita are deliciously drinkable and serious wines which show what Beaujolais is capable of. Les Caves is the old vine cuvee which James Suckling gave 96 Points stating, "This smells and tastes like the essence of Moulin-a-Vent, with stunning red fruit aromas plus delicate spicy and earthy notes." We couldn't agree more!. The venerable cru of Moulin a Vent produces wines of deep fruit with some structure yet exhibit finesse at the same time. This wine is ready to go, but can also be enjoyed with some age if that is your desire. This is a perfect wine to enjoy on a warm spring or summer day or evening. The aromas burst from the glass with notes of wild berries, violets, spice and ripe cherry fruit. The ongoing renaissance of the Beaujolais has been a joy to behold. As more and more growers have adopted better farming practices, more thoughtful approaches to vinification and an increased emphasis on site-specific bottlings, the immense potential of these bucolic hillsides has been unlocked to an unprecedented extent. At the forefront of this movement is Anita Kuhnel, a former professional cyclist who launched her eponymous domaine with the 2015 vintage. The winery is located in Chnas and today encompasses 18 hectares spread among the crus of Chnas, Fleurie, Morgon, and Moulin-a-Vent. Anita's goal from the outset was to produce wines of minimal intervention that express site character with maximal clarity. Her staggeringly dense plantings-10,000 vines per hectare-range from 40 to 100 years old, providing her with enviable raw materials which she treats with utmost care. She even uses a horse to plow her oldest holdings, a nod to the pre-technological era in which these vineyards were first planted. Tasting through Domaine Anita's line-up, we found the wines to be consistent, expressive and persistent. For those who wish to explore the range, we have a small amount of additional high-scoring wines from Domaine Anita on our website as well. We are happy to offer this eminently drinkable, refreshing Beaujolais at the best price in the country. Stock is limited to what we have on hand. When it's gone, it's gone. James Suckling 96 Points - " This smells and tastes like the essence of Moulin-a-Vent, with stunning red fruit aromas plus delicate spicy and earthy notes. Wonderful freshness and precision for this very hot and dry vintage on the medium- to full-bodied palate. The contours of the tannins are very precise, giving this an astonishing clarity in the very long finish. Two thirds were 100% whole cluster and one third was destemmed. Everything was fermented and maturated in concrete tanks. Drink or hold." |
