DOMAINE ANITA is located in the northern Beaujolais region. The estate, which cultivates 17 hectares of vineyards, the location of its plots on the finest terroirs characterised by granite soils contributes to its complexity and aging potential. Moulin a vent is one of the ten crus, know as the kings of Beaujolais
Anita NEVEU, the winemaker, has chosen to practice environmentally friendly viticulture. A return to soil tillage in recent years has proven to be a significant step. It’s a year-round, diligent effort to ensure the highest possible grape quality at harvest time.“My wines are exclusively from my vineyard—the one I walk through every day, observe, and love!”

Tasting notes:
Awards: 100 points James Suckling. This cuvée is a fascinating expression of Gamay. The wine has a deep color, and aromas of black fruits floral beautifully merge with mineral undertones and toasted notes from barrel aging. On the palate, it is rich, smooth, and silky.
