A rich nose with some mushrooms and some citrus, feeling very complex, a feeling helped by a hint of oxidation. It has a a soft, almost subtle mousse. Really full palate with very complex flavours, verging on a vin de contemplation rather than an aperitif champagne (which is how we served it). Interestingly, it really doesn't feel like a blanc de blancs, as it's just too complex. There are some very deep, almost savoury flavours with a nice citrus and vanilla touch. There's crisp, peary-y acidity on the finish. I wish I'd bought more than the single bottle of this. £38 seems quite a bargain for this.

I test these 3 Moet Grand Cru together along with Krug 1995.
Chardonnay 100 % is very polite and shy. Scents of small white flowers. Light to medium-bodied, very soft and smooth, delicate and nice aftertaste. : )
From a voice of a man who hates Moet NV the most.
