Champagne Moët et Chandon Vintage Rosé 2002

Wine information: Moët & Chandon was founded in 1743 and has been making Champagne ever since. The quality of the wines gives full expression to the richness and diversity of the fabulous vineyards, the largest and most prestigious estate in the whole of Champagne, made up almost exclusively of Premiers Crus and Grands Crus. Moët & Chandon merged with Hennessy Cognac in 1971 and with Louis Vuitton in 1987 to become LVMH (Louis-Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy), the largest luxury group in the world. Moët & Chandon holds a Royal Warrant as supplier of champagne to Queen Elizabeth II. Following the introduction of the concept of a vintage champagne in 1840, Moët marketed its first vintage in 1842. Their best-selling brand, Brut Imperial was introduced in the 1860s. Moet & Chandon Vintage Rose Champagne is a blend of 35% Chardonnay, 60% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier.

Tasting Notes: The wine sparkles and breathes, binding together the sensations of depth and harmony. The complexity of taste begins initially with figs and dried apricots progressively revealing nuances of cocoa and cinnamon.

Reviews: "The 2002 Brut Rose Grand Vintage is a rich, weighty wine endowed with considerable richness. The Pinot component is quite prominent in the flavor and textural profile. Far from an easygoing, aperitif rose, the 2002 Brut Rose Grand Vintage might very well redefine what consumers expect from a big-brand wine. Clean, chalky notes frame the exquisite, vinous finish. This is a fabulous effort from Moet & Chandon. The 2002 Brut Rose Grand Vintage is 51% Pinot Noir (of which 27% is still red wine), 28% Chardonnay and 21% Pinot Meunier."
