From the Producer: Isabelle and Bruno say, “our Moulin à Vent is a round and supple wine. Lots of finesse and complexity in this Beaujolais which has the power to pair with everything you like to eat! Lively and free. As they say, ‘who drinks from the Windmill will live a very long time’.

From the Importer Avant Garde: The estate situated in Vauxrenard, Beaujolais was founded in 1987. Since, it has has grown from 1.5 hectare to 8.5 hectares. The wines are vinified and bottled without the addition of sulfur or additives and are neither filtered or fined.

​Bruno, a 6th generation wine grower, was joined in 1989 by Isabelle. In 1999, Bruno became very ill due to the use of insecticide and began the move towards organic farming. As of 2018, biodynamic conversion on the 8.5 hectares was completed.
