Your Wine Guy says:
Moet’s world-class reputation was built upon their vintage expressions such as this. A rich gold in the glass with a fine bead. The nose shows seductive notes of honey, biscuit and shortbread. The palate has a delicate texture and very well balanced acidity, great length too.

The winemaker says:
After hand-picking, the grapes were pressed very gently - only the best juice from the first pressing was used. Grapes from different 'crus' were pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks separately to imbue complexity to the final blend. After malolactic fermentation, the vats were blended and bottled to undergo secondary fermentation. Aged for 4-5 years on the lees before disgorging.
