History

For anyone travelling along the celebrated Grands Crus Wine Route in Burgundy, it is impossible to miss the prestigious Maison Moillard. Located at the entrance to Nuits-Saint-Georges, capital of the prestigious Cte de Nuits area, it is adorned with a magnificent mosaic fresco, created for its 150th anniversary, which highlights the historical faade of the Cellars and the shop.

Over the centuries, the Moillard, Thomas-Moillard and Moillard-Grivot families have built up the reputation of the Maison, patiently adding the constituent parts of a fine wine growing domain and one of the greatest cellars of the Cte de Nuits.

Today, Maison Moillard has become a veritable institution in Nuits-Saint-Georges. It owns a 11.5 hectare domain in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Savigny-les-Beaune, Cte de Nuits Village and Hautes-Ctes de Nuits. The oenologists of Maison Moillard select the finest grapes from the best plots to give expression to the terroirs and Climats of Burgundy in all their diversity. Thanks to the ties formed over the years between Maison Moillard and the vineyard, they express the know-how passed down over several generations in the production and ageing of Burgundys wines and crmants.

Regional Information

Vinification Details

The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a pre-fermentation thanks to a cold maceration in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. The alcoholic fermentation is long during which pigeages and pumping over are performed. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 18 months - 40% new oak and 60% oak barrels used between 1 and 3 times.
