Description
The soil here is eroded blue-and-pink granite washed from the slopes, and yellow granite from neighbouring Fleurie, in a shallow amphitheatre. The 1.5 hectares of vines were planted in 1938, ’52 and ’65. This is the most velvety of these crus; Thibault raises it in traditional Burgundian barriques. The tannins are soft and creamy this year.

Critics reviews
Neal Martin MW 89-91/100
From shallow soils close to the windmill, the 2020 Moulin-à-Vent La Roche has a very perfumed bouquet with kirsch, orange pith and light cassis aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, very cohesive with a nice touch of salinity on the finish. Give this 12-18 months in bottle.Drink 2023-2029Neil Martin, Vinous.com (Nov 2021)
