Édouard also shares his views on the region’s potential Premier Cru classification, the ageing potential of Gamay, and the differences between Gamay and Pinot Noir, while taking us behind the scenes of winemaking at Château du Moulin-à-Vent.Be sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@NoSediment, as I am posting weekly videos on all things wine and monthly wine podcast episodes. **LET’S CONNECT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blancdenoir/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/blancdenoir TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nosediment
