Moingeon was founded in 1895 in Nuits St. Georges in the heart of the Cote de Nuits. Today it is known as "La Maison de Cremant" having been acquired in 1995 by Mark and Eva Siddle, who also owned Domaine Bertagna in Vougeot. Moingeon produce exclusively Methode Traditionnelle sparkling wines, including Cremant de Bourgogne, using the most modern techniques. Their strategy is to achieve the maximum flexibility in product style and packaging, whilst maintaining an unwavering commitment to quality. This elegant sparkling Chardonnay is an excellent alternative to Champagne (12 x 75 cl)
An excellent negociant house, the company was founded in 1849 and, although it now benefits from the technical expertise as part of the Boisset group, members of the family are still involved in the running of the winery. The style of the wines strikes a nice balance between modern and traditional Burgundian winemaking. This Hautes Cotes de Nuits wine has a rich dark red colour with red fruit aromas that will evolve more complexity with age. Full bodied with a firm structure, it has a good tannic presence and long finish. (6 x 75 cl)
The wine has an attractive nose, with perfumes of grapefruit and the biscuity toastiness characteristic of oak-aged Chardonnay balanced by a fresh acidity. Parcel-based selection and vineyard management was vital in this vintage. The wine was barrel-fermented using natural yeasts and a very small percentage of new oak. The winemaker eschews batonnage as he doesn’t like the fatness it lends to wines, preferring instead to allow the inherent elegance of his wines to shine through unhindered. (12 x 75 cl)
