ABOUT THIS WINE
The Moillard-Thomas Red Burgundy 2023/24 is a red wine produced in Burgundy, France, by the historic Moillard-Thomas wine merchant house, based in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Despite its producer's location in a Pinot Noir stronghold, this wine is made from 100% Gamay grapes, sourced from regions within Burgundy where the grape is permitted, rather than the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation itself. This approach allows for a distinct expression of Gamay, enhanced by a period of oak aging, which contributes to its character. The producer's legacy dates back to the 19th century, with a history tied to prestigious Burgundy vineyards, ensuring a commitment to quality.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Moillard-Thomas Red Burgundy 2023/24 is produced using traditional winemaking techniques focused on fruit preservation and character development. Grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain the vibrant fruit profile of the Gamay varietal. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in oak for approximately 10 months. This aging period is intended to impart richness and suppleness, integrating the fruit with subtle oak notes and contributing to the wine's overall structure and complexity. The producer leverages established relationships with growers across Burgundy to source their fruit.
