Domaine Moillard 2005 Pinot Noir (Clos Vougeot)
-
$190
A big, burly wine, powerful, concentrated and packed with fruit, the tannins a potential aging advantage underneath all this delicious fruit. Solid, but charming at the same time.

$125
Big, juicy fruit, bolstered by tannins, gives this wine weight and impressive structure. There is a dry core surrounded by ripe plums, herbs and fresh spices , resulting in soft, juicy freshness. But those tannins promise aging potential.

Domaine Moillard 2005 Epenots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)
-
$90
This wine is dense and tough, the fruit submerged under the tannins. It has great fresh acidity though which shows that the fruit just needs the time to balance out. But it is certainly young; give it 6–7 years at least.

Domaine Moillard 2005 Les Thorey Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Nuits-St.-Georges)
-
$90
If Nuits-Saint-Georges has a gentler side when young (as a contrast to the normal firm tannins), this wine shows it. The tannins are certainly here, but the ripe fruit shines through more than balances that dryness. Fresh strawberries and red plums round this off.

Domaine Moillard 2003 Pinot Noir (Clos Vougeot)
From vines in the heart of the Clos, Moillard has produced a powerful and concentrated wine. There is also balance, pushing the dark fruit against the acidity and solid, dry tannins. It may be big, but this wine still has fine elegance.

Coffee aromas mingle with red fruits at the complex start of this fine wine. The palate is rich and equally complex, showing spice and plum flavors, and an intense, rich structure. Imported by USA Wine Imports.

Domaine Moillard 2004 Les Malconsorts Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)
-
$80
This dark-hued wine is a black fruit bonanza, concentrated and solid. It also has ripeness, herbal flavors, aromas of leather and packed, tight tannins. Designed for aging—nothing less than five years will do.
