For the second time Château du Moulin-à-Vent is ranked among The Top 100 Wineries by Wine&Spirits magazine, one of the most influential media in the wine world.

“Join us in congratulating the 2020 Top 100 Wineries for their exceptional performance in our tastings this year. Our exclusive blind tasting process revealed this diverse collection of producers from around the globe and we honor them for their outstanding wines.” – Wine&Sprits magazine

Château du Moulin-à-Vent has been a reference estate since 1732 and is set in the heart of the eponymous appellation in the Beaujolais, France. Gamay is king here. Coming from old vines grown on granitic and windswept sands, it produces small quantity, but high quality. Soils work, organic treatments without insecticides, massal selections, manual harvest : an organic approach is preferred both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The family-owned domain continuously works to reveal the diversity and greatness of the noblest terroirs of Moulin-à-Vent.

“We are sincerely honored by this award and proud of this achievement, proof of our regularity and of the quality of our wines” – Edouard Parinet, owner and director of the domain.
