Aircraft C of G and wing pitching moment

I believe Airbus aircraft plan to balance fuel to keep the CG as far aft as possible, requiring the tail to produce very little down force. But isn't there a significant pitching moment from the wings, in which case the tail is still required to produce a down force?
Thoughts?
