Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage 2002

Grand Vintage is Moet & Chandon's vintage prestige range, made only in exceptional years; the 2002 comes from one of the finest Champagne vintages of the century.

Now fully mature, the wine shows dark, toasted aromas of crispbread, mocha, nougatine and cinnamon biscuit alongside grilled chestnut, honey and softened orchard fruit such as pear, candied citrus, plum and nectarine. The palate is precise and velvety, with an initial creamy roundness giving way to a linear, tight structure, finishing with notes of licorice and pepper.
