The appellation covers part of the towns of Chénas and Romanèche-Thorins, in the Beaujolais vineyards. It is one of the 10 crus, which are from north to south: le Saint-Amour, le Juliénas, le Chénas, le Moulin-à-Vent, le Fleurie, le Chiroubles, le Morgon, le Régnié, le Brouilly and le Côte-de-Brouilly.
This wine was sold before 1936 under the name of "Romanèche-Thorins" which was at the time a Beaujolais cru.[1] The name was changed to Moulin-à-Vent ("windmill")[2] when it was recognized by the National Institute of Origin and Quality (INAO) as a controlled designation of origin (AOC) by decree on September 11, 1936.[3]
