Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2008

In a Nutshell

Richard Geoffroy seized the moment to craft a Champagne from perfect 2008 grapes that clearly exceeds what one would expect from a Grand Vintage. Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2008 showcases the finesse and structure of this great Champagne vintage. After a good period of development, the first drinking window has now closed. Moët is known for variations between production batches, but this follows the general evolution of many reductively vinified 2008s: they now show less fruit and are dominated by their acidity.

Key facts

  • 40% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Noir, 23% Meunier
  • Disgorged 2016
  • Dosage 5 g/l
  • Fermented and aged in tank
  • Malolactic fermentation carried out
