Moët & ChandonGrand Vintage 2012 Magnum (1.5L) | Naked Bottle
Each Grand Vintage is original and unique, a free and personal interpretation of the Cellar Master, to reveal the exceptional character of singular years. Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2012 Magnum is the perfect embodiment of the spirit of Grand Vintages by Moët & Chandon. A spirit based on three essential values: freedom of interpretation, selection of the most remarkable wines of the year and individuality of the vintage, for champagnes that are distinguished by their maturity, complexity and charisma.
The colour is pale yellow, brilliant, with beautiful green reflections. The bubbles are fine and persistent.
On the nose
The initial sweet hints, such as harvest, calisson or vanilla, gradually open out into a browner, toasted register, with notes of roasted sesame, grilled almond or mocha. Alongside it, the fruit, fleshy and juicy, evokes the warm atmosphere of a peach and apricot orchard in the heart of summer. The floral evocation of an armful of roses and peonies completes a blooming and delicate ensemble.
In the mouth
The first contact is ample and smooth. Then the texture unfolds, silky and fluid; the controlled power of the Pinot Noir, with notes of honey and sweet spices, is underlined by a nuance of pink grapefruit. The wine is mature, generous and smooth at the same time.
To appreciate all its finesse and aromas, champagne should be enjoyed chilled (but not iced). Depending on the cuvée, the ideal serving temperature is between 8 and 12°C.
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
The Grand Vintage 2012 Moët & Chandon is made of of 50% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay and 14% Meunier .
Maturation time in the cellar: 10 years of maturation in the cellar allow it to develop a truly unique character. Ageing after disgorgement: 6 months minimum.
