About Moillard 2016 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru
Founded in 1850, Maison Moillard is one of the most celebrated Burgundy negociants and producers. Whether it's spectacular Grands Crus, sublime Premiers Crus, or Village appellations with a strong identity, they raise their wines in accordance with Burgundy traditions, terroirs and climates, to reveal the natural personality of each plot.
From the vine to the cellar, at Moillard the production of great cuvees is an art mastered for generations. Grapes are selected from partner winegrowers for many years and their team of oenologists uses all its know-how to vinify and age quality wines, representative of their terroir and which are appreciable in their youth but also after a few years. years spent in the cellar.
This wine is Meursault Premier Cru from the Les Charmes vineyard in the heart of the Cote de Beaune. At 600 to 1000 feet with exposures to the east and southeast the vineyard has excellent limestone and marl soil. The Chardonnay grapes ripen beautifully here. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses and fermentation is carried out in oak barrels. The wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels with regular stirring to gain depth and complexity.
This wine has gained additional complexity with extended bottle aging and it shows deep golden color, pear, hazelnut, brioche and honeysuckle grace the nose. On the palate the wine is quite complex and powerful with beautifully intermingling flavors and a rich texture. The finish hangs on for a long, elegant reflection.
