Jules Desjourneys Moulin a Vent 'Les Michelons' 2019
A strikingly sensual, vibrant wine that numbers among Duperray's greatest hits to date. Wafting from the glass with notions of cherries and raspberries mingled with vine smoke, peonies, rose petals and Indian spices, it's full-bodied, fleshy and textural, with a layered core of fruit, supple tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, resonant finish.
97 pts, 2025-55, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate.
Higher tones and more open – again that spicy MAV element – here showing the perfumed clarity of fruit that was missing from the previous wine. Ouch, what a fluid, energetic, structural wine, an effusive communicator. It somehow still manages to grow and grow on the palate during the finishing flavours. Grand vin!
