Blend and Origin
Moët Grand Vintage Blanc 2008
During this cool year, September was key, as rains were swept away by a north-westerly wind that allowed all varietals to ripen fully. This blend is predominantly chardonnay (40%), with 37% pinot noir and 23% meunier. Its salient characteristic is the high acid balance, which had not been seen in a mature vintage since 1995 and 1996. A truly classic champagne.
This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
