The Estate: Domaine Labruyère has a long history in Beaujolais, beginning with the planting of vines in 1850. Today, the fifth generation of the family is at the helm, and their commitment to crafting superior wines is undeniable.

The Cuvée: Le Clos du Moulin-à-Vent Monopole 2016 is a red monopole wine from 60-year-old vines located in the Moulin-à-Vent region. It is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, which gives it notes of black fruits, licorice and damp earth, with a balanced tannic structure.

The Vintage: The 2016 vintage was an exceptional year in Beaujolais. The weather conditions allowed for a slow and steady ripening of the grapes, resulting in concentrated, complex and elegant wines. The 2016 Clos du Moulin-à-Vent Monopole is a wine that will improve with age and could easily be mistaken for a great Burgundy.
