My continuing quest to taste as many 22 Burgundies as possible…
The nose shows warm red fruit compote made w/; blackberries, dark cherries, cherries, strawberries & blueberries. Dark earth with leaves, dry twigs, soft baking spices, fruit cake, caramel, chocolate pudding, light, dry herbs with candied & slightly withering, dark, red, blue florals framed in violets.
The wine drinks softly & smoothly w/o a ton of complexity, yet. Certainly is easy to drink now. Ripe & slightly candied; blackberries, dark cherries, cherries, strawberries & blueberries. Dark earth with leaves, twigs, soft baking spices, dark & brooding spice, fruit cake, meted caramel, chocolate pudding to melted dark chocolate, tree bark with sap, semi-sweet maple syrup notes, light, dry herbs with warm, moist clay, candied & slightly withering, dark, red, blue florals framed in violets, very round acidity with with a brooding elegant, balanced finish that lasts nearly two-minutes. Landing in spice and beautiful earths. 91-93 with a bit more bottle evolution. — 3 months ago

One of my favorites in the in Bourguignon-style of Beaujolais are those of Thibault Liger-Belair. What I adore about Thibault’s approach is that his winemaking philosophy seems to suit M-à-V so well. Popped and poured; no formal notes. The 2016 “Moulin-à-Vent VV” is full of the undeniable dark fruit and structure and yet, incorporates a funky charm that seems to bridge Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaujolais perfectly. To my palate, these 2016 VV’s are just entering the early part of their drinking window. I still think this is developing and it will take another few years before the secondary characteristics begin to show and that’s when the magic really starts to show with these wines. All of the pieces and parts are there…all that is required at this point s a little more patience. Good now but better with a little patience and after 2026. Should be awesome well through 2036 — 2 years ago

Naso intrigante e ricco. Bella consistenza e complessità data da un uso del legno presente ma non invasivo.
