Domaine Famille Lardet "Le Nid" Moulin-à-Vent "Rochegrès" 2022
Deep ruby. Brooding scents of black plum, blueberry compote, and violets. Dense and commanding—blackberry liqueur and bitter chocolate collide with grippy, granite-chewy tannins. Vibrant acidity pierces through, leading to a 45-second finish of salted licorice and ferrous minerality. A wine of silent power.
Drinkability: 2027–2040. Decant 2+ hours; serve with venison daube or wild mushroom risotto.
Decant 4+ hours or overnight if drink now. Pair it with fatty, umami-rich foods (e.g. slow-braised beef short ribs, duck confit, or wild mushroom stew) to soften its iron-clad tannins.
About Famille Lardet
Nestled in the heart of Beaujolais’ most revered Cru, Famille Lardet has farmed Moulin-à-Vent’s granite slopes for five generations. Their organic vineyards (40–90-year-old vines) are fermented whole-cluster in concrete, then aged in foudres to preserve crystalline terroir expression.
Le Nid is the brand name used specifically for their prestige range of single-climat, old-vine Moulin-à-Vent wines. Think of it as their luxury sub-label.
