Moet & Chandon : Grand Vintage 2013

Each Grand Vintage represents a unique, free and personal interpretation of the year by the Cellar Master of Moët & Chandon. From exceptional grapes harvested mainly in October, the Grand Vintage 2013 is a wine whose maturity immediately reveals itself through its autumnal aromas and its balanced, energetic and polished palate.

Tasting

Appearance: A light yellow-golden colour with persistent effervescence.

Nose: Aromas of pear, fresh bread, Meyer lemon, nougat and white flowers.

Palate: The palate is straight-forward, energetic and supported by a very nice and lively yet delicate acidity. This wine reveals a polished structure, coated with a finely grained texture.

Finish: A delicate bitterness reminiscent of white grapefruit characterises the final note.

The blend

Chardonnay 41%, Pinot Noir 38%, Pinot Meunier 21%
