First founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, it was the marketing acumen of Rémy Moët which initiated the brand’s international fame and mass volume production. Since then, Moët \u0026amp; Chandon have grown by acquiring other champagne estates, selling them forward and keeping their prestigious vineyards. Such large-scale production could only operate under the leadership of a truly superb Chef de Caves and in Benoît Gouez, Moët have one of the best. With a ten-man oenologist team led by chief Dom Pérignon winemaker Vincent Chaperon, Benoît has access to the most academic minds and palates in the region, no doubt a huge driving factor behind his success. Now proprietors to the largest amount of land: some 1,190-hecatres of rich limestone soil, and the largest extent of cellars: over twenty eight kilometres.rrEvery Grand Vintage is unique and original, the Cellar Master’s interpretation of the singular year that is produced. The Möet \u0026amp; Chandon Grand Vintage spirit is founded on three essential values: Freedom of interpretation, selection of the year’s most remarkable wines and individuality of the vintage. rrWeather:rThe 1988 vintage was a late, rainy season with a good yield and perfect acidity. Generally considered a very good vintage, champagnes from this year are typically full-bodied and will remain in a condition of wonderful balance for a long time to come. Harvesting began relatively late: September 26th for the Pinot Noir and Meunier and September 27th for the Chardonnay. An average 9.3 alcohol level and 9.6 g\/L acidity at harvest time resulted in a balance that can be characterised as taut. rrTechnical Information:rVineyards: Predominantly Grand \u0026amp; Premier CrusrGrape Varieties: 50% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 20% MeunierrAgeing: 14 years on the leesrDisgorged: October 2003rDosage: 7.5 g\/lrDrink: Now to 2030+rrTasting Note: A golden yellow colour with a fine bead, the initial aromas are dry and slightly smokey, with roasted hazelnuts.
