What it pairs with

  • Rack of lamb with tapenade
    Floral, concentrated Moulin-a-Vent from Champ de Cour suits herbed lamb.
  • Smoked duck with lentils and truffle oil
    Earthy truffle-lentil and smoked duck echoes the wine's manganese depth.
  • Roquefort and walnut salad
    The acidity of this Moulin-a-Vent balances pungent Roquefort dressing.
