Daniel Moine, the Mayor of Chambolle, lived in a house on the edge of the village overlooking the climate of Feusselottes. He wass blessed with the right land and a passion for fine wines.His vineyard holdings consisted of the very top sites in Chambolle, such as Les Amoureuses, Les Charmes, Les Feusselottes.Domaine Moine-Hudelot all was sold off in 2008 to Patrick Landanger of Domaine Pouse d’Or which included Bonnes Mares when Daniel retired. Moine had a daughter, but she was not interested in maintaining the domaine. The Musigny vines were sold and split between domaines Leroy in 1990 and Drouhin-Laroze in 1996.
The domaine has not produced wines for more than a decade. When Moine was making wine, Clive Coates noted that Moine “produces round, fragrant elegant wines, at the top levels of high quality

2000 Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Domaine Louis Jadot

Maison Louis Jadot
2000Gevrey-Chambertin "Clos St. Jacques" ♥1er Cru Red barrel
Score: 88-91
Tasted: Apr 01, 2002
Drink: 2006-12
Issue: 6
Outstanding
Note: Lardière noted that this macerated for more than 30 days
Producer note: Jacques Lardière, winemaker for Jadot, emphasized that the real story of 2000 was "Yields, yields and yields. Those domaines that controlled them and properly sorted their fruit had a chance to make some interesting wines". He went on to characterize the vintage as soft and early maturing and like most observers, commented that the Côte de Nuits was clearly better than the Côte de Beaune. In the former, he was especially pleased with the quality of Gevrey and Nuits and in the latter, Pommard, Savigny and Corton.
I usually ask each domaine whether or not they did anything different in a given vintage and Lardière commented that while the maceration period was not as long as what the Jadot team did in '99, it was still much longer than most at 25 to 30 days. Jadot also often performs a saignée (a bleeding off of a certain percentage of the must to concentrate the solid/liquid ratio) and in 2000 it averaged between 15 and 20% for each wine. He also decided to use a bit more new oak, which has long been Jadot's policy in so-called weaker vintages. His rationale is that new oak can flesh out and sweeten wines yet not necessarily mark them permanently or interfere with the clear expression of the underlying terroir.
The wines were scheduled to be bottled in March and I tasted many of them twice in November.
Tasting note: Classically elegant Clos St. Jacques nose of ripe, dark, earthy, wonderfully elegant fruit that exudes complexity and fine detail followed by rich, supple, rather forward, almost easy flavors and a lovely finishing sweetness. The tannins are very ripe and round and the only nit here is that this seems to be a bit lower in acidity than the best of this range. I doubt this will be especially long-lived, at least by the usual standards of this wine.
