Domaine Yohan Lardy, Moulin-à-Vent Les Michelons, 2023

$32.00

The 2023 Domaine Yohan Lardy Moulin-à-Vent Les Michelons is crafted from organically farmed Gamay grown on the steep, granitic slopes of this celebrated lieu-dit. Les Michelons sits in one of the wind-exposed, highest-quality pockets of the cru, producing naturally low yields and deeply concentrated fruit. Lardy, a fifth-generation vigneron, works with whole-cluster fermentations and minimal new oak.

The wine is vibrant and expressive, offering layers of raspberry, black cherry and cranberry with crushed rose, spice and a faint mineral edge from the pink granite. The palate is vivid and refined, showing energetic acidity and fine tannins and a silky finish. With rising acclaim from critics and collectors, the 2023 Les Michelons stands out as a compelling, terroir-driven expression of Moulin-à-Vent that balances youthful verve with aging potential.

Varietal: Gamay
Appellation: Moulin-à-Vent Les Michelons, Beaujolais, France
