This soil warms up well, drains water, and helps Gamay develop ripe fruit, tension, and a lightly spicy undertone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1240\"\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e The vines are on average 30 years old, and the yield is around 50 hl per hectare.

Within that Beaujolais selection, Moulin-à-Vent shows the more powerful side, with more structure and aging potential than many lighter Gamay wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis Latour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45246525309007,"sku":"3491","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/LouisLatourMoulin-a-Vent.webp?v=1778848844","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/products\/louis-latour-moulin-a-vent","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
