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".

Domaine rated (guide 2015) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
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.
Under the guidance of its oenologist Matthieu Carrara, Maison Moillard has produced a remarkable nuits, unanimously acclaimed for its balance. Initially reserved, the nose has to 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. Ageing will bring out its full complexity.

Magnificent Burgundy wine with a lot of finesse. Smooth mouthfeel and all the acidity of pinot noir gives way to a balanced mouthfeel.

Ordinary wine. On the palate, not the taste of a Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Very disappointed by this soulless wine. Relegated to a small table wine.
