Moillard, historically based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the Côte de Nuits, offers Domaine wines (Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune) and a traditional signature of Burgundy wines. The old documents of Nuits-Saint-Georges attest that the Moillard family already owned vineyards before the French Revolution. But the Winery saw a real boom in 1850, when Symphorien Moillard bought his first wines to satisfy an order too important for his own Domain, thus initiating his activity of wine trading. Since then, Moillard has carried out the meticulous job of wine making and aging to bring all their wines to their full potential.

Winemaking

Different soils: limestone and marl in the Cotes de Nuits, Cotes de Beaune and Cote Chalonnaise and granite in Southern Burgundy. Traditional method. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. The fermentation is carried out in stainless steel vats at 18°C. The base wines are then assembled. Fermentation (second alcoholic fermentation) in bottles and maturing for 12 months (“Sur latte”) before being put in gyropallets and disgorged to eliminate the deposit in the bottle. Addition of expedition liqueur before capping and muzzling.

Tasting notes

Light pink color. The citrus notes blend subtly with aromas of strawberry, forming a fresh and delicate bouquet. The palate is lively, with notes of grapefruit and fresh bread. Together they form a rich, fresh and vibrant wine.

Food pairing

Served at 6-8°C, this crémant is ideal as an aperitif, this Cremant de Bourgogne can also sublimate the aromas of fruit desserts (sorbets).
