Moet Chandon Grand Vintage 2003

Moet Chandon Grand Vintage 2003 with 750 ml. and 12.5 % volume.

The result of an unpredictable, even tumultuous growing season, the 2003 harvest is a badge of honour to those who produced it. The most severe frosts since 1957. The earliest blossoming since 1971. The most meagre yield since 1985. The hottest summer on record – ever. As a result of this concord of difficult circumstances the harvests began on 18th August, the earliest since 1822. Without a doubt, 2003 rewrote the Champagne rule book. The furious forces of nature constantly challenged the long-established routines. Relying on time-honoured protocols simply was not good enough: it was a year of experimentation, even risk-taking. It takes an exceptional house to rise to this kind of challenge, one that is sure of its intuitions and its ability to adapt. A house that is inscribed in the history of the region, its conquering spirit. A house that does not bow down before difficulty. In 2003, Moët & Chandon is that Champagne house: as it has been for more than two and a half centuries. With the Grand Vintage 2003, Moët & Chandon once again manifests its unequivocal ambition: to always respect the fruit, the nature, the truth of each year – whatever their particularities. To understand and express the personality of each vintage. To observe, ever-attentive, the clues laid out by the fruit itself – accompanying it right up to the miraculous moment when one of the finest white wines is born. This unwavering respect for the fruit, this engagement, is the source of the success of the Grand Vintage 2003. Surprising, imposing, confident, Grand Vintage 2003 is the incarnation of an ideal at the very heart of the Maison: “ In Audacity, Splendour ”.
