Vintage Character The 2022 Moulin-à-Vent en Montperay from Domaine A.F. Gros is a vibrant and structured Gamay from Beaujolais’ most age-worthy cru. The vintage, marked by warm and sunny conditions, yielded ripe fruit with concentration and balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and cherry mingle with floral notes of violet and a touch of graphite minerality. The palate is fuller than 2021, with firm tannins and a long, savory finish. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, roast duck, or even a mushroom risotto, where its depth and structure enhance the dish. Although rooted in Burgundy, Domaine A.F. Gros has extended its expertise to Beaujolais, bringing Burgundian precision to Gamay. The Montperay vineyard covers about 3.8 hectares on steep, east‑ to southeast‑facing slopes, with granite and sandy soils that yield wines of notable structure and aging potential.
Winery Background The vines here range from 30 to 75 years old, and winemaking includes partial whole‑bunch fermentation to enhance aromatic lift and texture, followed by élevage in oak barrels. Founded in 1988 by Anne‑Françoise Gros, daughter of Jean Gros, the domaine now spans around 14 hectares across Burgundy and Beaujolais, and is managed by her children Caroline and Matthias. Their philosophy emphasizes meticulous vineyard care, low yields, and traditional methods to highlight terroir expression, ensuring that each wine reflects both authenticity and finesse across appellations
