The Story

Every Grand Vintage is unique and original, the cellar master’s personal, free interpretation in service of the singular qualities of that year’s grapes. Grand Vintage Rosé is the perfect embodiment of the Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage spirit, a sprit founded on three essential values:

Each bottle of Möet & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé Brut is unique and original. This champagne has been crafted from the most rigorously selected grapes of one single harvest. The coupage of Grand Vintage Rosé champagne is created from the blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. The second fermentation process and ageing of this champagne was realized in the dark underground cellers of Moët et Chandon over a time-period of 48 months in this champagne´s bottle. During the degüelle (disgorgement) process, there was eight grams of sugar added per liter.

Vintage 1998

This year's harvest is the largest the region has ever seen. Every corner of the appellation has managed to achieve the maximum authorized harvest yield of 10,400 kilos of grapes per hectare. Producers were also allowed to harvest an additional 2,600 kg which was allocated to the Champagne reserve, called blocking. This led to 330 million bottles of champagne being made in total. The lock-in system (which allows more production than necessary to meet demand) was the main tool for maintaining a stable price level in the 1990s.

Written Notes

A bright salmon pink with flecks of ochre. Aromas of powdered spices, dried figs and demerara sugar reveal the wine’s maturity, while secondary notes of bread and charred wood pair with those of orange and tea. Supple and elegant on the palate, this vintage gives way to a lively and lingering finish. Grapefruit, liquorice and bay leaves shine through.

Pinot noir (43%), chardonnay (35%) and meunier (22%) make up this rosé champagne. It was a particularly good year for pinot noir from the Aube district and chardonnay from Côte des Blancs, and by harvest time, the meunier grapes were fully concentrated thanks to the late onset of hot weather.

A 14-year maturation period has created a champagne with depth and character. Clarity and brightness in the glass hints at a nose full of dried fruits, spices and charred wood.From a year of excellent conditions for both pinot noir and chardonnay, the Grand Vintage Rosé 1998 has become a sought-after classic and a fine addition to any cellar.
