Description
Anita Kuhnel was a former professional cyclist. With the same drive, she now dedicates all her energy to crafting Beaujolais wines at Domaine Anita. Anita uses only high-quality terroirs for this purpose. She produces wines from the Gamay grape that have already received high scores from renowned critics, including Robert Parker, James Suckling, and Wine Enthusiast. Suckling (96/100) writes of the 2020 Tres Vieille Vigne: "... This Beaujolais masterpiece is so concentrated and so pure, with a lush, velvety sensuality that reminds me of great Pomerol."
The Gamay grapes for this Anita Moulin-à-Vent Tres Vieille Vigne Les Caves come from the lieu-dit "Aux Caves" in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation. This vineyard is situated on granite soil at an altitude of 220 meters and faces south/southeast. The vines are 45 years old. The grapes are hand-picked and selected in the vineyard. Fermentation takes place for 11 days using the semi-carbonic maceration technique, also known as "Vinification Beaujolaise." This gives the wine a fruity character and ensures a smooth flavor structure. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 6 months in cement tanks and partially in oak barrels, followed by 4 months in bottle. In the glass, the Tres Vieille Vigne Les Caves is ruby red with a purple glow. The nose is very floral and elegant, with notes of irises, raspberries, and strawberries. On the palate, aromas of raspberries, strawberries, blackcurrants, and rhubarb. Earthy and spicy. Refreshing acidity. Seductive. Delicious with coq au vin or a grilled steak.

Very cool, silky and precise in spite of the awesome old-vine depth. In fact, it has a personality that’s gentle and polite. The fine-grained texture on the medium-bodied palate makes you feel like you’re licking the granite soil of the site. I love the delicate spicy aromas and touch of red roses. There’s a dramatic mineral freshness in the emphatically dry finish. Fermented with a good proportion of whole-cluster then matured two-thirds in concrete tank and one-third in used Burgundian barrels. Drink or hold.

From: Buy Some, Try Some: Beaujolais 2022-2024 (Apr 2025)
The 2023 Moulin-à-Vent Très Vieille Vigne Les Caves has an open, delineated bouquet with cassis, blackcurrant and a subtle marine scent emerging with time. The palate is harmonious, silky smooth and a little edgier than the Coeur de Vigneronne cuvée. This has a nicely structured, persistent finish. The 2023 is excellent and perhaps has the edge over the 2022.

Anita Kuhnel used to be a professional cyclist. With the same drive, she now puts all her energy into making Beaujolais wines at Domaine Anita. Anita only uses high-quality terroirs for this. With this she makes wines from the Gamay grape that has already received several high scores from renowned critics, including Robert Parker, James Suckling and Wine Enthusiast.
Anita Kuhnel will retire from cycling in 2015 and will make it her mission to create top Beaujolais. She buys carefully selected terroirs in the crus Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon, Chénas and Fleurie. The de-stalking of grapes and the use of wood give extra depth to her wines. Sulfite use is kept to a minimum. Her wines are particularly rich, concentrated wines that live up to the full potential of Gamay and also have a very good aging potential. Chénas is one of the smallest crus of Beaujolais and therefore a Beaujolais not often seen. The soils contain a lot of granite, which causes the vines to root more deeply. That gives small, concentrated grapes with a lot of taste. Morgon is one of the richest Beaujolais styles. The soils consist of granite and schist, of volcanic origin. With a lot of iron in the soil, the wines have more structure and earthy notes. What is exceptional about Moulin-à-Vent is the high amount of manganese in the granite soils. This manganese limits the yield, making the wines extra concentrated and deeper in taste, with more tannins. It is the fullest of all Beaujolais crus, and can also age very well. In Fleurie, Anita makes the Fleurie Poncié, which stands out for its strong floral, aromatic character.
