Not every Burgundy needs to cost the equivalent of a small car. Moillard Pinot Noir Bourgogne is a rather delicious example. Made from pinot noir, as red Burgundy traditionally is, it comes from Maison Moillard, a long-standing Nuits-Saint-Georges producer that knows a thing or two about the grape.
Why we love it:
Moillard’s Pinot Noir Burgundy delivers plenty of what makes Burgundy so irresistible: bright cherry and dark fruit, silky tannins and a subtle earthy note that keeps things interesting. Rich without being heavy, it’s a classic without the collector’s price tag. Pair it with a hearty lentil and root vegetable stew, braised pork belly or mutton chops. Or keep things simple with a creamy Brie or Camembert and a pile of crackers.
