Grand Vintage 2012

2012 was an unprecedented year. Frosts, torrential rain, hail, drought... Just a month before the harvest, the outlook was bleak. But a month later, we were announcing one of Champagne’s finest vintages! This extraordinary harvest inspired Benoît Gouez to create a gentle, fresh and harmonious Grand Vintage 2012 champagne that would echo the easy transition from spring into summer.

Grand Vintage Rosé 2012

Grand Vintage Rosé 2012 champagne comes from a year that saw relatively low yields. The grapes, remarkable for both their sugar content and their acidity, are similar to those that picked in 2002, 1989 and 1966, all wonderful years for ageing. Fresh and delicate, the 43rd Moët & Chandon rosé vintage celebrates the mildness of spring and the blossoming of summer.

Grand Vintage 2009

The wonderful 2009 vintage gave rise to a magnificent champagne. Benoît Gouez decided to showcase Pinot Noir, whose controlled power forms the backbone of the wine and provides its roundness. The result is a complex and beautifully crafted wine with a silky texture. The perfect champagne to serve with dinner.

Grand Vintage Collection 2002

2002 was one of the greatest vintages in Champagne history. The harvested grapes, of a complexity that had not been observed since 1990, prompted Benoît Gouez to produce a Grand Vintage 2002 champagne featuring Chardonnay front and center, to combine freshness with opulence. Benefiting from a long maturation period in contact with its yeasts, this exceptional champagne expresses all its richness and complexity while keeping its energy completely intact.
