A totally classic Beaujolais, but this mind-blowing wine also redefines what Beaujolais can be. That starts with how it pulls the white rabbit of mind-blowing freshness and purity out of the hat in this very hot and dry...

The 2022 Moulin-à-Vent Cœur de Vigneronne - Aux Caves boasts a nose of candied blackberries, currants, black tea leaves and vanilla pods. It's unctuous on the palate, with a rounded core of sappy black fruits and accents...

I tasted the 2022 Moulin-à-Vent Coeur de Vigneronne on two occasions. This cuvée comes from 60-year-old vines and is completely destemmed before a relatively long élevage in barrel. It came across a little blowsy at the...

The 2022 Domaine Anita Moulin-a-Vent Coeur de Vigneronne is a distinguished red wine hailing from the Beaujolais sub-region of Burgundy, France. Crafted from Gamay grapes, this wine is noted for its rich and complex profile. It boasts an alcohol content of 14.2% and is sealed with a cork closure.

James Suckling awarded this wine a perfect score of 100, declaring it a "totally classic Beaujolais" that redefines the category. He praised its "mind-blowing freshness and purity" despite the hot and dry vintage, emphasizing the depth of its red fruit aromas. Suckling highlighted the wine's concentration, precision, and an almost overwhelming minerality in its near-endless finish. The wine stems from old vines in the Les Caves site of Moulin-a-Vent and is matured in used oak barrels from Burgundy for just under a year. Suckling suggests it can be enjoyed now or held for future enjoyment.

Vinous also reviewed this wine, giving it a score of 92. The reviewer noted the wine's origin from 60-year-old vines and described its production process, which includes complete destemming and a relatively long élevage in barrel. Initially found to be a bit blowsy at a tasting event, a second bottle that underwent a one-hour decanting at home revealed a much more favorable character. The wine was described as forward, opulent, and potent on the nose, with layers of black plum and blueberry fruit. The palate reflected the warm summer of 2022, featuring glycerin-rich black fruit. This luxurious Beaujolais is expected to age well, comparable to the 2015 vintage.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate also scored the wine at 92, noting its nose of candied blackberries, currants, black tea leaves, and vanilla pods. The palate was described as unctuous, with a rounded core of sappy black fruits and accents of black pepper. The reviewer highlighted its long, melting tannins that provide a buttery texture, culminating in a powerful finish. The recommendation is to allow some time in the bottle to shed layers of opulence.

Overall, the 2022 Domaine Anita Moulin-a-Vent Coeur de Vigneronne is a wine that has garnered high praise from critics for its complex and luxurious profile, with particular acclaim from James Suckling.
