Located in one of Beaujolais’ most prestigious crus, Le Nid Estate embodies the elegance and depth of Moulin-à-Vent. This family-run estate carefully tends its vineyards with passion and precision, aiming to capture the purest expression of Gamay. Through meticulous vineyard work and refined winemaking, the estate’s wines stand out for their sophisticated structure and remarkable aging potential.
A Unique Terroir for Exceptional Wines
Le Nid Estate spans several hectares of vineyards planted on granite-rich soils containing manganese, a signature element of Moulin-à-Vent. This terroir imparts vibrant minerality, aromatic depth, and impressive longevity to the wines. With optimal sun exposure and carefully managed yields, each cuvée strikes a perfect balance between power and finesse.
Sustainable Viticulture and Precise Winemaking
The estate follows a sustainable approach, respecting both the environment and the natural balance of the soils. All grapes are hand-harvested, ensuring that only the best fruit is selected. In the cellar, fermentations occur with native yeasts, and aging takes place in tanks or barrels, depending on the cuvée, to enhance complexity and refinement.
Wines of Character and Elegance
Le Nid Estate’s wines perfectly capture the identity of Moulin-à-Vent, often considered the most Burgundian of Beaujolais crus. The nose reveals aromas of dark berries, violets, and spice, while the palate, full-bodied and structured, impresses with its balance and length. With aging, the wines develop more complex notes of forest floor and leather, further highlighting their elegance.
