Laurent Perrachon 2020 Moulin a Vent "Terres Roses"
It is generally held that the significant admixture of manganese in the granitic soils is what lifts this cru to its important heights. Always the most “burgundian” of Beaujolais wines, Perrachon’s version, hailing from vines with an average of 50 years of age, is an important, meaty wine, with plenty of salt in the stew. Great value.
