Thanks to the savoir-faire, expertise, and knowledge of Moët & Chandon, one of the most glamorous and renowned champagne brands in the world, the Maison has crafted over 70 Grand Vintage since 1842. Nearly a hundred exceptional vintages have resulted in a highly expressive extra brut champagne. Indeed, when we speak of Grand Vintage, we refer to a champagne produced only in exceptional years and solely with grapes from that year. Therefore, each Grand Vintage is unique.
Created around the freedom of interpretation of the Chef de Cave, Benoit Gouez, Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage is crafted using the traditional varieties of chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier. Exceptionally high-quality grapes are meticulously sorted for production according to the méthode champenoise. After obtaining a quality base wine, a second fermentation takes place in the bottle. The aging period is approximately seven years, and after disgorgement, a dosage of 5 g/litre of sugar is added, with the champagne remaining in the cellar for at least six months before being released to the market.
Being the most select range of the winery, Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage perfectly embodies the intrinsic values of the Maison and its winemaker: originality, quality, and personality.
