2024 Yohan Lardy, Moulin-a-Vent Vieilles Vignes de 1903 - Magnum Site_Aux Echezeaux

2024 Yohan Lardy, Moulin-a-Vent Vieilles Vignes de 1903 - Magnum Site_Aux EchezeauxYohan Lardy is based in Fleurie, but this wine comes from a small old vine parcel in Moulin Vent planted in 1903. A combination of pink granite, quartz and manganese rich soils gives this bottle darker fruit and more structure than its Fleurie counterparts. Lardy uses whole cluster, semi carbonic maceration for about 20 days followed by 12 months aging in a very old 3,000L foudre to allow the structure of the vines to shine. A cool, wet 2024 vintage
