Domaine Famille Lardet "Le Nid" Moulin-à-Vent "La Rochelle" 2022
Opaque purple. Heady aromas of macerated blackberries, kirsch, and peonies. A cascade of blue fruit and plum liqueur, wrapped in velvet tannins. Electric acidity amplifies the saline-umami undertow, ending in a finale of violet pastilles and crushed stones. Monumental yet weightless.
Drinkability: 2030–2045+. Decant 3 hours; sublime with truffle-scented pigeon or miso-glazed lamb ribs.
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.
