Clos de la Roilette Moulin-à-Vent 2023
92 Points, John Gilman (A View From the Cellar)
“The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent from Alain Coudert is a nicely ripe wine this year, tipping the scales at fourteen percent alcohol. The wine offers up a deep and youthfully complex nose of cassis, dark berries, gamebird, coffee bean, dark soil tones, sweet stems and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, precise and full-bodied, with a fine core of black fruit, good soil signature and grip, firm, chewy tannins, fine balance and a long, tangy and promising finish. This shows drought vintage characteristics that will require some extended cellaring before the wine starts to drink with a semblance of generosity, but with sufficient patience, it should prove to be an excellent bottle. 2033-2075.”

Clos de la Roilette isn’t your average Beaujolais. Tucked away in Fleurie, this small family-run estate defies expectations, cranking out Fleurie wines that are seriously structured and built to age. While most of their neighbors are all about granite, Roilette’s secret weapon lies in its unique patch of clay and manganese-rich soils – more akin to the powerful Moulin-à-Vent next door.
This distinct terroir, combined with gnarly old vines (some over a century old!), gives their wines a depth and complexity rarely seen. Think dark fruit, subtle florals, and a finish that keeps you coming back for more. They stick to classic methods, embracing the grape’s true character. If you’re looking for Beaujolais with an edge, something that challenges preconceptions and ages like a rockstar, Clos de la Roilette is the play.
