The grape
Where it's from
Burgundy
France
The spiritual home of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Burgundy's genius is its obsession with place — every vineyard classified, every nuance of soil and slope mapped and celebrated. Wines of extraordinary elegance, often infuriating scarcity, and occasionally life-changing quality.
Meet the producer
Domaine des Moirots
Burgundy, France
A family estate farming around 30 acres in the Côte Chalonnaise, where Christophe Denizot makes Pinot Noir, Montagny and Crémant de Bourgogne. Love Wine stocks all three. The Montagny Premier Cru Le Vieux Château is aged half in oak, half in cement.
More from Domaine des Moirots →The story behind it
Grown on the prestigious “Le Vieux Château” slope in Montagny, the vineyards are hand-harvested and aged 50% in oak and 50% in cement on fine lees for 10–11 months. The result is a wine combining purity of terroir, finesse, and understated complexity.
If you like these, you'll love this: Fans of mineral-driven Burgundy—like Givry, Rully 1er Cru or classic Chablis—will find this highly appealing.
