This is named for the three rocky parcels of vines from which it derives—Rochegrès, Roche Noire and Rochelle. The average age of the vines on these sites is now over 40 years. Pierre-Marie points out that La Rochelle (which overlooks the famous windmill) brings structure, whereas the east-facing Rochegrès contributes finesse and supple tannins, and the Roche Noire grapes bring liveliness and juicy fruit. One of the common features of these sites is the concentration of manganese in the soils, which delivers an unmistakable mineral thread that runs through the wine.
Les Trois Roches is the most revered Cru wine of this producer, and with good reason. The 2020 release is perfectly weighted with patinated, mineral-infused cherry skin and raspberry fruit sustained by supple tannins and lots of juicy, smoky grip on the finish. This will age beautifully if you can keep your hands off it.
Opening in the glass with notes of sweet wild berries, petals, warm spices and loamy soil, the 2020 Moulin-à-Vent Les Trois Roches is medium to full-bodied, lively and nicely concentrated, with powdery tannins and a mouth-watering finish.
