Moillard Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 2005

The 2005 Moillard Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is a mature, classically styled Burgundy from the legendary Clos de Vougeot, showing dark cherry, dried plum, forest floor, leather, and subtle spice. The palate is firm yet polished, with resolved tannins, savory depth, and a lingering earthy finish that reflects both the power of the vintage and the structure of the site. Fully evolved and drinking well now, it rewards a gentle decant and a contemplative pace at the table.
