"Coudert To the best of my knowledge, the 2022 Moulin-à-Vent from Alain Coudert (of Clos de la Roilette fame) is brand new in the family’s lineup. Given that the family’s Clos de la Roilette lies down in the valley right next to border for Moulin-à-Vent (and was once sold as such), it is a logical extension for Alain. The wine is outstanding on both the nose and palate, with the bouquet offering up scents of cassis, black cherries, a bit of spit-roasted gamebird, dark soil tones, coffee bean and a topnote of bonfire. On the palate the wine is deep, young and full-bodied, with a beautiful, rock solid core of sappy fruit, fine soil inflection and grip, ripe, buried tannins and superb length and grip on the impeccably balanced and complex finish. This is outstanding Moulin-àVent, but it will demand a bit of cellaring to drink with true generosity. 2030-2080. "
