A blend of 41% chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir and 26% Meunier that offers a complete and rewarding experience that begins with its intense attack, even in regard to the bouquet, and is perpetuated by the full and wrapping mouthfeel and fresh and vital finish. Although 2012 may have been a vintage of contrasts for the other Maisons, Moët was able to achieve great harmony while, at the same time, maintaining an extra-brut dosage, 5g/l, which Benoît Gouez insists upon for his vintage wine. The bouquet of linden flower with citrus notes slowly explodes into one with summer fruit, while the concentrated and dynamic structure of the mouthfeel slowly produces a generous elegance for a persistent and deeply iodine finish.
