CLASSIC VINTAGES TO ENJOY NOW
.
.
Explore the single vineyard wines of Moulin-à-Vent’s oldest estate, Domaine Labruyère. These sensitive, life-affirming Gamays give their illustrious neighbours in Burgundy a run for their money. Moulin-à-Vent is a flagship for the Beaujolais crus, with stylistic similarities to the Pinot Noirs of the Côte d’Or to the north.
.
The wines of Domaine Labruyère have a venerable winemaking lineage, which is reflected in their style: rich and structured, approachable in youth but with impressive ageing potential. The three single vineyards – Champs de Cour, Le Carquelin and Le Clos du Moulin-à-Vent – shine a spotlight on the greatest terroirs of Moulin-à-Vent. Under the leadership of Edouard Labruyère since 2008, their reputation has become world class. A mixed case not to be missed!
An impressive snapshot of one of the great terroirs of Moulin-à-Vent, ready to enjoy now.

Moulin-à-Vent Champ de Cour,
Domaine Labruyère 2016
Exotic spices and dried herbs on the nose, this enchants from the off and is unmistakeably shaped by whole-cluster vinification. Violets and rose petals, ripe raspberry mingling with a leafy herbaceousness. This brims with joie de vivre and in fact increases in potency when left for a few minutes in the glass. The palate has Parma violets and some milk chocolate on the entry, with marked herbal spice. Fleshy red berry fruit is framed by firm tannins, a step up in forcefulness, with nice precise acidity.

Moulin-à-Vent Clos du Moulin-à-Vent Monopole,
Domaine Labruyère 2016
A pure, immediate nose of raspberry and blackberry. This could easily be high-class Pinot Noir. The palate is violetinfused and linear, with fine tannins and a lovely acidity, more poised than juicy, buoying the pretty red berry flavours and refreshing the firm tannins. The tannins are the most muscular of the line-up but are beautifully perfume-coated and benefit from the counterpoint of dexterously fleshy raspberry fruit. This needs some cellar time – show it to anyone who claims that Gamay will not age! Le Clos 2016 was 100% destemmed.

Moulin-à-Vent Clos du Moulin-à-Vent Monopole,
Moulin-à-Vent Le Carquelin,
Domaine Labruyère 2016
Exotic Spicy red berries and rose petals on the nose, a nod both to the pefume of the Côte d’Or and the force of the Rhone valley. Indeed, last year, Nadine Gublin said, “Carquelin is more Châteauneuf-du-Pape than Moulin-à-Vent!” There is a dry-earth minerality on the nose too. The palate is forceful and initially defined by muscle and extract, before fleshy red berries make themselves felt on the mid-palate, lending a refreshing succulence. Fine chalky minerality emerges, contributing to an elegantly grippy finish. Excellent ageing potential here, this is a substantial wine and about as far removed from the popular image of Beaujolais as you can get. 100% destemmed.
