2023 Yohan Lardy Moulin-a-vent Les Michelons
Tasting Notes
A seriously structured Beaujolais from one of the region’s top crus. The 2023 “Les Michelons” opens with fragrant red cherry, violet and a hint of black pepper. Light on its feet yet concentrated, it shows fine, silky tannins, mineral drive and a brilliantly clean finish—proof that Gamay can be graceful and profound.

About the Producer
Part of Beaujolais’ new wave, Yohan Lardy farms old vines in “Les Michelons” with organic methods and ferments with native yeasts. The iron-rich granitic soils of Moulin-à-Vent lend structure and aging potential, delivering Gamay with the finesse of Burgundy and the joy of Beaujolais.
