The House of Moet and Chandon Champagne

Claude Moët, a wine trader descended from an old family resident in the Champagne region since the 14th century, founded his house in Epernay in 1743, and decided to perpetuate the Dom Perignon legacy.
His grandson, Jean-Rémy Moët, is the one who, in the 19th century, really helped the house expand by opening it up to foreign markets.Jean-Rémy Moët handed the house over to his son and his son-in-law, Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles. It then took on the Moët & Chandon name.

Moet & Chandon Vintage Champagne

Vintage are marked by an exceptional Summer. Spring was rather dull and flowering late but rapid, however it was saved by a Summer which produced a heatwave from the last days of June onward. During the last two months rain was rare with some isolated storms and temperatures higher than the seasonal norm of the last 30 years. The fresher conditions in September scarcely affected the maturation of an initial strong style.

Quality : Brut Assemblage : 35% Chardonnay, 60% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier Tasting : The wine sparkles and breathes, binding together the sensations of depth and harmony. The complexity of taste begins initially with figs and dried apricots progressively revealing nuances of cocoa and cinnamon.
