✨ Technical Specifications
Maison Moillard, established in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1850, crafts classic Burgundian expressions across key subregions. Mercurey, located in the Côte Chalonnaise, is renowned for its iron-rich clay and limestone soils that yield deeply colored, structured Pinot Noir. 'Bois Vilain' reflects the site's distinct microclimate, where traditional Burgundian vinification—including partial whole-cluster fermentation and aging in French oak barrels—enhances the grape's natural red fruit notes, earthy undertones, and firm backbone.
