Domaine de Rochegres Moulin-a-Vent 2020

Domaine de Rochegres Moulin-a-Vent 2020

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast. Covering 5.2 ha (12.85 acres) within the 660 ha (1631 acres) of the Moulin-a-Vent appellation, the vines are ideally located at the heart of one of the 18 recognised single vineyards, Rochegres, where, as its name, "grey rock", suggests, the granitic parent rock is visible at the surface of the soil in the vineyards. This exceptional, distinctive location irrefutably defines the profile of this structured, fleshy wine that boasts floral aromas. The nose is highly aromatic and evocative of ripe red fruit (cherry), which evolve towards fine, floral then spicy notes, finishing on a touch of oak. The first palate is dominated by the roundness and fullness along with elegant tannins. The finish is well balanced, fleshy, delicate and pure, which is due to this particular terroir.

Product Description

Taste

The nose is highly aromatic and evocative of ripe red fruit (cherry), which evolve towards fine, floral then spicy notes, finishing on a touch of oak. The first palate is dominated by the roundness and fullness along with elegant tannins. The finish is well balanced, fleshy, delicate and pure, which is due to this particular terroir.

Wine Press Ratings

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast (2020)

"The Domaine de Rochegrès, a recent acquisition by Burgundian négociant Albert Bichot, has produced this rich, full-bodied wine. It is packed with fruit and a firm core that will allow it to age."

93 Points - Falstaff (2020)

"The full scent of fruit of the forest coulis hits the nose with aromatic ripeness. The palate has a generous, most juicy body, edged with lovely, bright freshness that lends verve to the fruit. The concentration is worn lightly and brightly. The length is marvellous."

Food Pairing

This Rochegres Moulin-a-Vent is a fine accompaniment to red meats, as well as poultry and mild cheeses.

Serving & Cellaring

Serve between 14 and 16°C. 

This wine may be laid down for 5 years or more.

About the Producer

In 1831, Bernard Bichot founded a wine trading business in his name in Monthélie. His son, Hippolyte, succeeded him and bought the first vines in Volnay, already convinced that upstream control was essential. His son, Albert Bichot, the first to bear the name, gave the family business new momentum in the late 19th century and settled in the centre of Beaune once and for all in 1912.

The second Albert Bichot, who was born in 1900, was a pioneer of international commerce. North America, Asia, Oceania… He travelled incessantly in order to introduce our wines, which were already recognised as being among the best, to wine lovers around the world.

In the second half of the 20th century, his four sons, Albert, Bernard, Bénigne and Jean-Marc, inherited this know-how. A new era of expansion began with the construction of a large ageing cellar, a new bottling centre and winery. Our wines were available in all of the world’s continents.

Returns & Refunds

As indicated in our Quality Promise we will happily refund or exchange any faulty bottles. All we ask is the bottles in question are returned to us at least half full for verification purposes. If a bottle is broken on delivery we will also replace or refund it but we do require photographic evidence of the breakage. Equally we can arrange for the bottles to be collected the next time you receive a delivery from us.

Should we be unable to fulfil any part, or all of an order, Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) will suggest comparable substitutions. You are free to refuse these suggestions and are eligible for a full refund of relevant parts of the order.

In all instances, Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) must be informed of any claim within 24 hours of receipt of delivery by email or telephone. All refunds will be issued after we have received and approved the faulty items and the amount will be re-credited to your account within 30 days. The amount refunded will be equal to the full amount paid for the relevant products at the time of purchase and must be made by the same payment method as the original sale.

If you choose to cancel your contract of sale with Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) you may do so within 30 days of receipt of the goods. If the goods have already been dispatched they must be returned to us unopened and undamaged, and Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) will not be liable for any costs associated with the original or return delivery. 

No refund can be given when a case has left bond as the value will be affected. Individual bottles of Fine Wine will be considered for refund on a case-by-case basis.
