In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Édouard Parinet of Château du Moulin-à-Vent to explore what makes Beaujolais and its Crus so special. We discuss the history of Gamay, why it thrives in Beaujolais, and what sets Moulin-à-Vent apart from other Crus. Édouard also shares his views on the region’s potential Premier Cru classification, the ageing potential of Gamay, and the differences between Gamay and Pinot Noir, while taking us behind the scenes of winemaking at Château du Moulin-à-Vent.
