It is produced by Maison Louis Jadot, a historic estate founded in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot in Beaune. Over the past century and a half, Jadot has grown into one of the largest and most renowned wine houses in Burgundy, managing 240 hectares of land and offering 154 different cuvées. The estate is known for its classic Côte d'Or interpretation, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and terroir. Although it has been under American ownership by the Kobrand Corporation since 1985, the house maintains remarkable continuity, with winemaking led by Jacques Lardière from 1970 until 2012. As noted on the label, the wine was harvested, vinified, aged, and bottled by Louis Jadot at Chateau des Jacques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoulin-à-Vent is located in the northern part of the Beaujolais region, stretching across the communes of Chénas and Romanèche-Thorins. The area is named after a 300-year-old windmill that still crowns the hill above the vineyards. Often referred to as the \"King of Beaujolais,\" Moulin-à-Vent is considered the most structured of the ten Beaujolais Crus. The region of Beaujolais, situated south of Burgundy, is characterized by its granite subsoils. In Moulin-à-Vent specifically, the vines grow on pink granite soils with an unusually high concentration of manganese, which naturally lowers yields and results in highly concentrated grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is made entirely from Gamay, a classic French grape variety that finds its true homeland in the Beaujolais region, though it is also frequently cultivated in the Loire Valley. The specific terroir of the Moulin-à-Vent appellation, combined with the unique soil composition, provides a distinct environment for the Gamay vines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Louis Jadot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57670239551814,"sku":null,"price":150.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1663_11f0b4ee-9415-4534-ab43-b6470ebc5469.jpg?v=1792578074","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/moulin-a-vent-clos-du-grand-carquelin-louis-jadot-1997","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
