95-Pt Vintage Meursault Premier Cru—Extremely Limited!

BACKGROUND:
Moillard, historically based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the Côte de Nuits, offers Domaine wines 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.

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, Côte de Nuits Village and Hautes-Côtes 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 Burgundy’s wines and crémants.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
“The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in oak barrels, 50% new oak. The wine is aged for 14 months in oak barrels with regular stirring to gain depth and complexity.

“The 2022 is a pale yellow color with bright, slightly golden reflections. The bouquet reveals a lovely aromatic complexity, mixing notes of white fruits, flowers, citrus fruits and some brioche aromas. In the mouth, a beautiful richness, marked by a subtle balance between creaminess and acidity.”
