Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Collection 2009
Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Collection 2009
Each Grand Vintage is unique, expressing the Moët & Chandon Cellar Master's personal interpretation of the year. In Champagne, 2009 began with the coldest winter in 15 years, followed by a hot spring and summer. With fourteen years of aging, this vintage shows notable maturity.
It opens with rich aromas of toasted brioche, blond tobacco, and caramelized fruit, balanced by hints of honey, frangipane, and subtle spices.

                            HOW TO ENJOY

APPEARANCE:
Pale, bright yellow with green reflections and a fine, persistent bead.
AROMA:
A bouquet that opens with notes of maturity: gentle harvest tones, callisson, and vanilla, evolving into darker, toasty aromas of grilled sesame seeds, roasted almonds, and mocha. Hints of juicy peaches and apricots add warmth, complemented by floral notes of roses and peonies.
TASTE:
Fulfilling and reassuring, combining the richness of ripe fruit with the depth of toasted and nutty undertones. The palate is radiant and delicate, echoing the serene, sun-drenched atmosphere of a summer orchard.
