Moët & Chandon 2004 - Grand Vintage Extra-Brut - Champagne

The Cuvée

The Moët & Chandon "Grand Vintage" range offers only champagnes from the best vintages of the house's wine library. These wines, recently disgorged, ensure ideal conservation quality.

Each Grand Vintage reflects a unique interpretation of the year, and the 2004 vintage, marked by generous climatic conditions, gave birth to a wine that is both ample and refined. This champagne, the house's 66th vintage, benefited from more than eight years of aging on lees before its 2012 disgorgement.

Each Grand Vintage is a testament to Moët's expertise, highlighting the unique personality of each year.

At Wuat we are not fond of the Moët & Chandon brand. But we must admit that the "grand vintage" cuvées are sublime. These Champagnes can still be kept for many years and we advise you to taste them before the prices rise too much.
