Pale bright yellow in colour with green reflections and a fine, persistent bead. A bouquet of reassuring maturity. Initial nuances of harvest notes and vanilla gradually expand into darker, toastier notes of grilled sesame seeds, roasted almonds and mocha alongside hints of juicy, fleshy apricots and peaches. Full-bodied and smooth, on the palate there are notes of honey and mild spices, underscored by a stimulating nuance of pink grapefruit.

Founded in 1743, Moët & Chandon is the Maison that introduced champagne to the world by offering a range of unique wines for every occasion. The Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Collection is one of the world's largest and most prestigious collections of vintage champagnes and the House has released only 70 in the 163 years from 1843 to 2009. Every Grand Vintage is a reinvention, an affirmation of know-how, a free and personal interpretation by the Chef de Cave to reveal each vintage's unique character.
