Domaine Anita Moulin-à-Vent La Rochelle is a wine made from 100% Gamay grapes, sourced from one of the most prestigious vineyards in the Moulin-à-Vent appellation. The wine features deep aromas of damp earth and black fruits, with exceptional concentration and finesse on the palate.
Domaine Anita is a winery located in Chénas, in the heart of the Beaujolais region of France. It was founded in 2015 by Anita Kuhnel, a former professional cyclist who transformed her passion for wine into the production of high-quality wines. The winery encompasses 18 hectares of vineyards spread across prestigious appellations such as Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon, Chénas, and Fleurie.
Anita practices sustainable viticulture, tailoring her methods to each parcel to ensure that every bottle reflects the character of its terroir. In the cellar, Anita collaborates with Guy Marion, a former chief winemaker at Georges Duboeuf, who brings over 52 vintages of experience in Beaujolais.
