Moillard Tour de L’ange
The History
Moillard winery, the tradition of growing the best grapes and making the finest
wines has been maintained. The Moillard family has been cultivating vines in Nuits
-Saint-Georges since the French Revolution. 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.
In keeping with the traditions of the Cote 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.
By leaving the wines in vats and barrels for a long time and limiting human intervention during this crucial period, the wines of the Maison Moillard develop the
full range of their taste, expressing the quality of the terroir and highlighting the
distinctive character of each small parcel (les climats as they are known in Burgundy) of the Cote de Nuits. This is why Moillard wines offer the entire palette of the
region’s greatest appellations.
