Grand Vintage was previously known as 'Millesime Blanc', and 'Brut Imperial Vintage'.
Critic tasting note: "(2019) There is 50% Pinot Noir in this blend, Chardonnay having dominated previous vintages, with 36% Chardonnay and a relatively low 14% of Meunier. A powerful wine, this also spent seven years in the cellars before release. Real salinity, yeast and biscuit, candied lemon and lime. Lovely sweetness on the mid-palate, the thrust of citrus and salt surge through to the finish." - 92/100, Tom Cannavan

- Vineyard Notes
-
The most successful grape in the 2009 harvest, Pinot Noir dominates the blend at 50% and gives it its power. Chardonnay brings elegant freshness and smoothness (36%), while Meunier enhances this great vintage with full-bodied texture.

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Bright pale yellow with green glints, and fine and persistent bubbles. Its maturity asserts itself right from the start. The first clues are soft, with cut hay, marzipan or vanilla gradually opening up to a more toasted register: roasted sesame, toasted almonds, mocha. Then fleshy and juicy fruit calls to mind an orchard of peaches and apricots in the midsummer. Suggestions of roses and peonies in bouquets complete this wonderfully delicate ensemble. Full and smooth, the first contact envelops the palate. Then the silky and fluid texture unfolds. The controlled power of Pinot Noir with notes of honey and sweet spices, is underscored by a hint of pink grapefruit. The whole package is both generous and light.

Toasty aromas with fresh brioche and golden Meyer lemon reveal an indulgent nose typical of vintage champagne. Tight bubbles caress the palate bringing flavors of dried clementine and lemon zest, toasted white bread and freshly churned butter. An absolute delight.

Appealing peach pie on the nose with cherry and apple, chalky, strong minerals with excellent length.

2009 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2019
Pale chartreuse yellow, silver reflections, a very fine mousse. Subtle notes of biscuits, roasted nuts, a touch of peach and mango in the background, subtle notes of savoury dried herbs. Medium complexity, white apples, a subtle extracted sweetness, an integrated acidity, notes of apricot and some blossom honey on the finish, already drinking well..

Tasted: Aug 2018
Taking advantage of the natural richness of this vintage, this wine is ripe and soft, hinting at yeastiness as well as retaining plenty of attractive acidity. This balanced wine is powerfully rich and ready to drink now. Roger Voss
2009 Vintage
Tasted: Dec 2017
Pale straw colour with a mellow creaminess. Youthful nose, restrained fruit, apple, pear and lime notes with a gentle toastiness, roasted nuts and fresh butter. Light to medium body with a soft creaminess, rounded acidity and youthful fruit, crushed apple and pear with citrus notes and a medium to long fresh finish.

One of the most disappointing Moët vintages. Unbalanced, no complexity and zero aftertaste.
What a waste!

The 2009 vintage for Champagne was exceptionally good.
