Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2012 in Gift Box, 75 cl

Whatever you may think of Moet’s Non Vintage Champagne, the Vintages are consistently of a very high quality and offer what we believe to be superb value. Vintage Champagne means quite simply all the grapes must come from the year stated on the label – rather than Non vintage which is mostly a blend of a number of different grapes from differing years. Here we offer Moet’s 2012 vintage which is most certainly one of their more delicate releases and no worse for that. A slightly higher proportion of Pinot Noir and Meunier than normal. Gentle pastry and stoned citrus flavours backed by gentle acidity. Moet & Chandon remains to be the largest House within the region- considerably larger than any of its competitors. Claude Moet was the visionary behind this brand establishing the Maison back in 1743. One of their most famous (or should that be infamous) fans was none other than Napoleon who it is said took bottles of Moet & Chandon wherever he travelled. Superb value for the price. A blend of 33% Pinot Noir, 26% Pinot Meunier and 41% Chardonnay.
