Moet & Chandon : Grand Vintage Rose 2015

A powerful and intense vintage champagne

The property

The Moët & Chandon Champagne House was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, a visionary wine merchant, who quickly made it a reference among European courts. A few years later, his grandson, Jean-Rémy Moët, developed the house's international reputation.
Jean-Rémy Moët notably created the emblematic cuvée of the house, the Moët Imperial, in honor of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who visited the estate several times and is said to have invented with his troops the gesture of sabering Moët & Chandon champagne bottles to celebrate a victory.
Owned by the LVMH group since 1987, the house produces, from a rigorous selection of Champagne terroirs, singular cuvées recognized beyond borders for their quality and seductive personality.

Nose
The bouquet opens with aromas of red fruits. Fruity notes of fig and wild strawberry mingle with spicy notes of aromatic pink peppercorns and Jamaican pepper.

Palate
A powerful and faceted palate, the fruit is concentrated, dark and deep, the tannins create angles, revealing facets like a rough jewel. The bitterness of sloe and cranberry, with notes of mint and anise, refreshes the finish.
