About Moillard
Moillard was bought from the company Bejot in 2016.
It is now under Francois Martenot a subsidiary of The
Family Helfrich owned Group; Les Grands Chais de
France established in 1979.
Following the acquisition of Moillard by GCF in 2016,
investment and new methods will be implemented
with a true desire to respect the Terroir and quality
of the wine. In Burgundy, it isn’t enough to be
‘well-born’, you must be ‘well-bred’ too.
Historically, Moillard is based in Nuits-Saint-Georges,
in Côte de Nuits, bringing you Estate wines (Côte de
Nuits and Côte de Beaune,) a signature to Burgundian
tradition.
The oldest written records of Nuits-Saint-Georges show
that the Moillard family already owned vineyards there
before the French Revolution. But the firm really took
off in 1850 when Symphorien Moillard purchased his first
wines to fill an order that was too big for his estate, thus
starting his wine brokerage activity.
Since then Moillard has been taking all the time needed
to vinify and mature its wines so that they reach their
full potential.
Creating an alliance between respect for generations
of skills and know-how at Domaine Moillard and the
use of modern equipment, a new winery was created
in 2009 in Nuits-Saint-Georges where grapes picked
on the greatest terroirs of Côte de Nuits and Côte de
Beaune could be brought and vinified. Equipped with
small, open, vats, this winery has been set out to keep
the grapes whole before vinification. After strict sorting,
the best berries are taken to the vats in small containers
to avoid any unnecessary pumping. Respecting Côte de
Nuits tradition, vatting is long. The wines are treated to
several days of post-fermentation maceration at 30°C.
Moillard’s red wines are rich! They are rich in colour and
concentrated thanks to skilled extraction. This brings
lovely structure and power to the wines, allowing great
cellaring potential.
In its white wines, Moillard aims for complexity in the
aromas and flavours combined with finesse. They are
fresh and balanced with great length.
Moillard has always crafted wines of rare finesse and
elegance, faithful to Burgundian tradition. They centre
on Moillard’s terroirs and spotlighting the ‘climats’ that
are representative of Burgundy.

Why We're Cool
Creating a balance between respect for generations of

OUR RED WINES
Equipped with small, open, vats, this winery has been
set out to keep the grapes whole before vinification.
After strict sorting, the best berries are taken to the
vats in small containers to avoid any unnecessary
pumping. Respecting Côte de Nuits tradition, vatting
is long. The wines are treated to several days of post-
fermentation maceration at 30°C.
OUR WHITE WINES
As soon as they arrive at the winery, the grapes are
placed in our presses and immediately gently pressed,
the juice is then allowed to settle. Depending on the
appellation, the must ferments in thermo-regulated
stainless-steel vats (Chablis, Mâcon) or in oak barrels.
Regular stirring up (bâtonnage) contributes complexity
of aromas and flavours and length on the palate.
