Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy : The Moulin à Vent "Clos de Rochegrès" has a very nice garnet-red colour with crims on tints. It releases very fine aromas of flowers (rose) with a touch ofmineral. The wine is generous and tender on the palate thanks to the elegant and long lasting tannins. This wine will perfectly match red meats in sauce, game and most cheeses.

Preservation : This wine which full of breed will  be able to age 10-20 years if kept in good conditions of humidity and temperature.
