The Moillard Corton Grand Cru is a magnificent and powerful white wine that represents the pinnacle of Chardonnay from its prestigious Burgundian terroir. This bottle showcases exceptional complexity, structural integrity, and a remarkable potential for aging, making it a true collector’s piece.
Maison Moillard, founded in 1850 and based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, is a historic Burgundy house known for its adherence to traditional winemaking. Operating as both a domaine and a highly regarded négociant-éleveur, they vinify wines with a classic, terroir-focused approach. Their deep-rooted presence and extensive portfolio, from regional wines to the most revered Grand Crus, have cemented their reputation in the industry.
This wine pours a brilliant golden-yellow, offering an intense and layered bouquet of ripe pear, lemon curd, toasted almonds, and a distinct flinty minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent, with a creamy texture beautifully balanced by a driving, vibrant acidity. Flavors of baked apple, vanilla bean, and a hint of butterscotch unfold into an exceptionally long and sophisticated finish.
To fully appreciate its aromatic complexity, serve the Moillard Corton Grand Cru lightly chilled at 12-14°C (54-57°F). This Grand Cru pairs exquisitely with rich dishes such as lobster with a butter sauce, roasted guinea fowl with mushrooms, or fine-aged Comté cheese.
