Each Grand Vintage is the cellar master’s unique interpretation of that year and this magnum of Moët & Chandon 1975 encapsulates one of the best harvests of the decade. The wine stands out for its elegant structure. Rounded, smooth, with great precision and depth. Its toasty, nutty notes reveal its remarkable maturity.
Producer Information
Moët & Chandon, based in the so-called “Champagne capital” of Épernay, is easily the most famous house in the Champagne region. It is one of the largest too, comprising 1150 hectares (2850 acres) of estate vineyards plus more from growers, 28km (17 miles) of cellars and a production capacity of 60 million bottles a year.The house was founded by Claude Moët in 1743. However, his grandson, Jean-Remy Moët, is credited with having brought Champagne to a wider audience and, by the 19th Century, the house was recognized both domestically and internationally.In the 1970s and ’80s, Moët & Chandon expanded its empire beyond Champagne, partnering first with Cognac house Hennessy and then with fashion giant Louis Vuitton, forming the well-known luxury conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy –often referred to simply as LVMH.
