Moillard Pommard 1er Cru Les Grand Epenots

The Moillard Pommard 1er Cru Les Grand Epenots is a superb expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir from one of Pommard’s most celebrated vineyards. This wine brilliantly showcases the appellation’s characteristic power and structure, offering remarkable complexity and significant aging potential for the discerning collector.

Maison Moillard, established in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1850, is a historic Burgundy producer with a reputation for traditional winemaking. As a respected négociant-éleveur, they combine grapes from their own domaines with those from long-standing grower partnerships. This dual approach allows them to craft a diverse and high-quality portfolio that authentically reflects the classic terroirs of the region.

In the glass, this wine presents a deep ruby color with garnet reflections, promising concentration and depth. The nose is complex, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, and damp earth, layered with subtle notes of spice and leather. On the palate, the Moillard Pommard 1er Cru Les Grand Epenots is powerful and structured, with firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, persistent finish dominated by dark fruit flavors.

To best appreciate its complex character, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-65°F) after allowing it to breathe. It pairs magnificently with robust dishes such as roasted game birds, beef bourguignon, or a selection of aged, hard cheeses.
