Moulin Nouvel 2021 Minervois

Red wines from the Minervois in Languedoc-Roussillon offer affordable examples of good everyday wines. In fact, I point to such wines as an example of how affordable wine can be as part of a daily diet. While rarely are they low in alcohol (14%+ is the norm here), they offer powerful wines of great complexity.

The herbaceous “garrigue” aromas common in the South of France are in evidence here, on top of fruit notes dominated by blue fruits and bramble berries. A powerful wine with good tannins and enough acidity to keep the wine from being tiring before the bottle is empty.

Pairs well with beef, veal, pasta and hard cheeses! Enjoy now through 2029.
