Light golden-yellow color, fine, persistent bubbles.
On the nose
An autumnal bouquet. Mature aromas are immediately apparent, with autumnal notes of roasted chestnuts, toasted buckwheat, walnuts, honey and nougatine. Then the fruit reveals itself, evoking a perfectly ripe apple or pear. Hints of iodine, dried flowers and pine sap complete the aromatic bouquet.
In the mouth
Lively and well-structured on the palate. The palate is straightforward and energetic, supported by lively yet delicate acidity, underpinned by a chiselled structure and wrapped in a finely grained texture. The fine bitterness of white grapefruit holds the final note.
To concoct a recipe that goes well with Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2013, focus on the texture and substance of the main element: Choose a complementary ingredient with warm, toasty notes, such as hazelnuts, to create a dialogue with the champagne, and add a subtle touch of bitterness, such as lemon, to create contrast. For inspiration, Grand Vintage 2013 has no shortage of pairings, and is equally at home with seafood or meat. Try roasted scallops on whole-wheat blinis with a lemon coulis, or veal chops with sea almonds and a dash of lemon bergamot. Grand Vintage 2013 Moët & Chandon also goes well with vegetarian options, such as eggplant with Lebanese spices.
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.
Grand Vintage 2013 Moët & Chandon is the unexpected expression of a year particularly renowned for its Chardonnays. This Champagne is composed of 41% Chardonnay and 38% Pinot Noir, enhanced by the discreet presence of Meunier (21%).
The year 2013: 2013 was a year of unusual weather. The cold winter weather delayed the vegetative cycle, resulting in a later harvest in October.
Maturation in the cellar: Seven years of maturation in the cellar give it a truly unique character.
Ageing after disgorging: 6 months minimum.
