What it pairs with

  • Roasted saddle of hare with mustard
    Intense game preparation suits the concentration of old-vine Moulin-a-Vent.
  • Truffled duck liver terrine
    Rich liver preparation finds its peer in the wine's density and persistence.
  • Camembert de Normandie rotie (baked)
    Warm melted camembert suits a structured Moulin-a-Vent with enough acidity to refresh.
