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

Grapes mainly come from plots located in the Mâconnais. As the south of Burgundy benefits from a sunnier climate, we obtain very rich and ripe grapes from vines between 15 and 40 years old.
Traditional vinification: Pressing and settling is done directly by vine growers who have been the winery’s partners for many years. The best musts are then blended to craft a Bourgogne Chardonnay that is powerful, elegant and fresh. The cuvée is then seeded in yeast and chilled at 15 ° before being sent to our Savigny Les Beaune site for being fed into 228L oak barrels. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in oak barrels.
Ageing in oak barrels for 10 months ; 25% new oak; 25% oak barrels used once ; 25% used 2 times ; 25% used 3 times. Regular stirring and ullage to gain in richness and roundness. Natural malolactic fermentation which brings complexity to the wine.

Tasting notes
