2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"Under the guidance of its oenologist Matthieu Carrara, Maison Moillard has produced a remarkable nuits, unanimously acclaimed for its balance. Initially reserved, the nose must be called upon to release its aromas of red fruits with a hint of spice. It's on the palate that the wine reveals itself, rich, dense, round and suave, carried by fine, silky tannins and just the right amount of vivacity. With ageing, it will become even more complex". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

About the wine:

Vincent Sauvestre (Béjot Group) remembers hearing his grandparents, grocers in Nuits-Saint-Georges, speak often of Maison Moillard: he bought it in 2008, overseeing the négoce and related estate from Meursault.
