Den ikoniske Moët & Chandon Vintage Champange et endelige landet med fornemme anmeldelser fra både Vinous og Robert Parker.

Verdens mest berømte Champagne-producent lancerede for første gang deres årgangsbobler tilbage i 1842 og siden da er det blevet til 77. udgaver, når man medregner denne årgang 2015.

Årgang 2015 var en fantastisk årgang i klassisk ”Cool Climate” stil, hvor man skulle helt hen til midt oktober for at starte høsten. Det er ikke første gang i tre årtier, at det sker!

Moët & Chandons Vintage 2015 er skabt på druer fra mere end 100 forskellige topparceller i Champagne. I førersædet er det Pinot Noir, der med 44 % udgør størstedelen af blended, der flankeres af Chardonnay og Meunier.

Champagnen er først frigivet efter 60 måneders modning på de fine gærrester, hvilket giver en kompleks, sprød og cremet smagsoplevelse i indiskutabel verdensklasse. Moët vælger kun at tilsætte 5 gram dosage til Champagnen, hvilket gør den Extra Brut – helt perfekt til skaldyr, østers, kaviar, sushi og appetizers.

Anmeldelser af Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Blanc 2015

93/100 Vinous
”The 2015 Extra-Brut Grand Vintage is a terrific choice for drinking now, as it is so expressive. Baked apple tart, spice, lemon confit, marzipan, and a hint of toastiness are front and center. Open-knit and engaging, the 2015 is a Champagne pure and total pleasure.”

93/100 Jeb Dunnuck
”Produced from 44% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay, and the rest Meunier, the 2015 Champagne Grand Vintage Extra Brut pours a medium golden-straw hue and is opulent on opening with toasty aromas of baked bread, spiced orange peel, marzipan, and dried peach. Full-bodied, with a pillowy mouthfeel, it has a very nice balance of ripe fruit while retaining freshness Silky textured, its notes of citrus oils and orchard fruits last through the finish. This elegant and warming wine would do fantastically well moving into these cooler fall and winter months. Although I personally enjoy where this is for drinking now, it should hold up over the coming 6-8 years. Disgorged February 2022.

92/100 James Suckling
“Biscuits, hazelnuts, peaches and baked apples on the nose. Some caramel. Medium-bodied with a broad mousse. Textured, with a dry honeycomb character. 44% pinot noir, 32% chardonnay and 24% meunier. Dosage 5 g/l. Disgorged in February 2022. Drink now.

91/100 Robert Parker
” A blend of 44% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay and 24% Pinot Meunier, the Moët & Chandon 2015 Extra Brut Grand Vintage was bottled with a dosage of five grams per liter after six years in the cellars. With notes of marzipan, pastry, lemon confit, pear and peach, the bouquet is charming and fresh. Nervy tension animates its fine, crystalline palate. After some time in the glass, it evolves toward smoke, struck flint and vanilla notes. An elegant Champagne, now at its peak, but which could be kept for another five years.”

Nyd den som et luksuriøst velkomstglas eller til appetizers, sushi, fisk og skaldyr, rogn og kaviar, røget laks, tapas, brunch og cremede oste. Servér ved 6-10°C

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Blanc er i årgang 2015 fremstillet på et klassisk blend bestående af 44% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay og 24% Meunier, der høstes fra tophusets mere end 100 parceller i Champagne. Vinen modner i 60 måneder på bærmen, hvilket er med til at give den vidunderlige, dybe, cremde og toastede finesse til den færdige Champagne. Tilsat dosage: 5 g/l. Champagnen er helt tør – Extra Brut.
