ABOUT THIS WINE
Moulin-À-Vent Des Hospices by Collin Bourisset is a red wine from the Moulin-à-Vent appellation in Beaujolais, France. Its unique story begins with the Domaine des Hospices Civils de Romanèche-Thorins, an estate formed over time through vineyard plot donations to a local hospital. The historic wine house of Collin Bourisset has been the exclusive producer and distributor of this wine since 1926. The wine's distinctive character is attributed to its rare terroir of pink granite soils containing manganese. The 2023 vintage benefited from a warm summer in Beaujolais, promoting optimal Gamay grape maturation and promising a wine with freshness and vivacity.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Moulin-À-Vent Des Hospices involves traditional Beaujolais vinification techniques. Grapes are hand-harvested, followed by a cuvaison (maceration) period lasting 15 to 20 days after partial destemming. The wine is then partially aged in barrels to develop complexity and structure. Collin Bourisset, as the exclusive producer since 1926, follows methods that respect the unique terroir of the Moulin-à-Vent appellation and the historical legacy of the Hospices estate.
