Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2012

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2012 is the 74th Grand Vintage from the house — a Champagne of exceptional maturity, complexity, and charisma, blending 41% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir, and 26% Meunier from a vintage where the red grape varieties were particularly successful, especially Meunier.

The 2012 vintage evokes the transition from spring to summer, offering superb harmony with softness and freshness. Aged a minimum of 5 years in cellars and at least 6 months after disgorging, with a dosage of 5g/litre. Bright pale yellow with glints of green and fine, persistent bubbles.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Bright pale yellow with green glints, fine and persistent bubbles
• Nose: Fresh white flowers evolving toward sweet fragrant pastries, fresh walnuts, hazelnuts and biscuits; crisp ripened fruit — pear, white peach, nectarine
• Palate: Soft, supple and fluid attack; the palate develops a cashmere-like texture, revealing crisp structure that lengthens into an iodized, tangy finish with a mouthwatering hint of grapefruit
