MOËT & CHANDON Grand Vintage Rosé

Each Grand Vintage Rosé is unique and expresses the Moët & Chandon Cellar Master’s personal interpretation of the year. The Grand Vintage Rosé has a truly unique character.

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé is a champagne marked by a late harvest. It encapsulates a year of waiting, a year of anticipation. The season shines through in its flavours and aromas, offering a generous nose, spicy fruitiness and a chiselled mouthfeel expressed through autumnal notes.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Colour tinged with orange. A radiant, light pink hue with hints of orange.

NOSE: The initial aromas are sweet, tinged with a mixture of wild strawberries, raspberries and pomegranate seeds. It then develops a touch of freshness with hints of blood orange and star fruit. Black pepper, dark chocolate, cinnamon, dried flowers and new leather round off the bouquet.

TASTE: The fleshy attack on the palate confirms the wine’s voluptuous character. The chiselled structure of the Pinot Noir is accompanied by the sensation of crisp stone fruit, such as plums and cherries. The texture is finely powdered and a delicate astringency underscores the long finish, with flashes of pink grapefruit and lime zest.
