Production Details The specialist vendor states that the 2020 fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured for approximately 18 months in old oak barrels, with no new oak. The oak-vessel statement is retained as lower-authority, vintage-specific reporting because it conflicts with the current importer’s general account that Desjourneys avoids oak for Beaujolais and uses concrete or glass for élevage.
Tasting Notes Deep bright ruby; fresh blackberry and blueberry, violet, white pepper and warm stone; concentrated yet airy, with mineral tension, precise tannins, energy, elegance, purity and a long finish
Food Pairing Roast duck breast, veal-cheek stew, beef fillet en croûte

2015 Technical Specifications
Region Moulin-a-Vent
Production Details First vintage of Moulin à Vent Le Styx. The producer characterizes its 2015 wines as more stripped-down in style from a tannic, sun-drenched year, without excessive richness, and suitable either for drinking or cellaring.
