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

The grapes are exclusively selected from parcels located in the heart of the Côte-d’Or. The soil consists of limestone containing marl and clay. Traditional vinification, after a severe sorting, the grapes are cooled in stainless steel vats for 5 to 7 days to reveal fruity aromas. Long fermentation in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats during which pigeages and pumping over are performed. The wine is then gravity fed into 228L oak barrels used between 1 to 4 times , 40% new oak barrels. Maturing for 12 to 15 months in oak barrels during which natural malolactic fermentation takes place.
