The Moillard family
has been cultivating vines in Nuits-Saint-Georges since the French Revolution.
The arrival of the railway in Nuits-Saint-Georges opened up new commercial
opportunities and the Maison Moillard began its activity as wine merchants in
1850.
From generation to generation, the Thomas family extended the properties, buying up precious plots and developing the trade. In 2008, Vincent Sauvestre succeeded the Thomas family in running the Maison Moillard and perpetuating its prestigious reputation as one of the finest winemakers in Burgundy.Equipped with small open vats, the winery has been conceived to respect the integral quality of the grapes. After a very selective sorting phase, the healthiest grapes are taken in small tubs to the vats, avoiding any pumping of the precious juices. In keeping with the traditions of the Côte de Nuits, the vatting is allowed to last a long time.
The objective is to produce elegant and powerful wines that will age well and that can be appreciated at any time. The wines are put into oak casks by using gravity and stored in the very old vaulted cellars of the property, which house over 1,000 barrels. They are carefully monitored by our oenologists throughout the ageing process, which lasts 14 to 20 months. The wines develop their complexity during this time and reveal all the qualities of the terroir.

Domaine Moillard Nuits-Saint-Georges
“Les Richemones” Premier Cru 2009
9 cases available
This has the lovely perfumed quality
that several of the wines in the range display with slightly darker and riper
fruit aromas that are discreetly laced with a variety of spice notes. There is
good volume and richness to the round, delicious and generous yet entirely
serious medium-bodied flavors that possess a bit more dry extract that buffers
well the moderately firm structure that shapes the finish. An understated, persistent and mildly austere
wine that needs some time to blossom. 91

Domaine
Moillard Pommard Premier Cru “Les Rugiens” 2009
9 cases available
A reserved, even
reticent nose of fresh red Pinot fruit and subtle wet stone notes marries into
delicious, intense and well-delineated medium weight flavors that possess
reasonably good punch on the balanced and moderately austere finish that
exhibits sneaky good length. At present, this seems rather compressed and the question
is whether it will add more complexity with time in bottle as it is borderline
one dimensional at present. We’ll see. 89

Domaine
Moillard Pommard Premier Cru “Les Epenots” 2009
9 cases available
A moderately
complex nose of ripe dark berry fruit, earth and attractive violet hints gives
way to nicely rich, round and delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess an
attractive mouth feel, all wrapped in a dusty, sappy and balanced finish that
delivers solid persistence. This is an understated effort that is well made and
while not offering truly distinguished quality, this is more than respectable
plus it should be capable of delivering 8 to 10 years of upside development. 90 points, Burghound.com, 89 points

Domaine Moillard Vosne-Romanée Premier
Cru “Les Beaux Monts” 2009
4 cases available
This is ripe but relatively cool
within the context of a very ripe vintage with a mix of red berry liqueur, red
currant and subtle amounts of the hallmark Vosne spice. There is a sense of lift from the overt
minerality on the middle weight and well-focused flavors that possess good
underlying tension on the mildly lean and linear finish that, like many of the
wines in the range, display mild backend austerity. This is a bit like the
Rugiens in the sense that there is good balance and persistence but limited
depth for a first class Vosne Premier Cru. Time will tell but I prefer to
remain conservative in this case. 89

Domaine Moillard Clos
de Vougeot Grand Cru 2009
12 6 packs available
There’s a hint of
black pepper in the aromas of this red, offering flavors that range from black
cherry jam to raspberry, with a hint of licorice. Civilized for this
appellation, benefitting from the benevolent 2009 vintage. The finish is fine,
if not great. Best from 2014 through 2027. – B.S.
