Domaine Anita is a winery located in the Beaujolais region of France, dedicated solely to producing top-quality Beaujolais wines, primarily from Gamay grapes. The winery was founded by Anita Neveu, a former professional cyclist who, after her athletic career, decided to pursue her passion for wine. Anita places great value on selecting the finest terroirs, and her careful selection has resulted in wines that have received high praise from renowned critics such as Robert Parker and James Suckling.
Domaine Anita wines are known for their elegant style, soft tannins and refreshing acidity.
Domaine Anita La Rochelle Moulin-à-Vent originates from the eponymous La Rochelle vineyard. Situated at an altitude of 240 meters and boasting pink granite subsoil, the grapes ripen perfectly. At peak ripeness, they are harvested and selected entirely by hand. In the winery, the grapes are destemmed and subjected to a cold maceration. Fermentation then takes place, with the skins pressed down daily to enhance the flavor and tannins. The wine is then aged for a further six months in oak barrels and cement tanks, allowing the wine to mature further and develop its flavors.
La Rochelle Moulin a Vent emerges in the glass with an intense ruby red color. The aroma reveals a complex and intense aroma of black cherries, flowers, and black pepper. The palate is concentrated and rich, with juicy acidity and soft tannins. The wine has a strong, mineral finish that lingers and tantalizes the taste buds. This wine is perfect for serving with hearty meat dishes, such as game and grilled red meat, but also pairs well with rich, creamy cheeses.
