Moët & Chandon 2013 - Grand Vintage Rosé - Extra-Brut Champagne

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé 2013 - The Indulgence of a 44th Vintage

A Free and Bold Interpretation: Each Grand Vintage Rosé is a unique piece. For this 44th rosé vintage in the House's history, the Cellar Master has favored a vibrant aromatic profile, where the ripeness of the fruit meets technical precision. The result is a profound rosé Champagne, crafted for the table and exceptional moments.

A blend dominated by Pinot Noir

The soul of this 2013 vintage lies in its vinous structure, obtained through meticulous blending:

• 44% Pinot Noir: Including 14% still red wine, giving it this intense color and this very particular tannic structure.
• 35% Chardonnay: For elegance, brilliance and a tangy freshness necessary for balance.
• 21% Meunier: For binding and fruity roundness.

Disgorged in June 2020 , this wine benefited from 7 years of slow maturation, giving it a complexity that only great vintages can achieve.

Aromatic Profile: Between Forest Fruits and Spices

The nose is a true invitation to travel. It opens with sweet notes of small red berries in a salad (wild strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate), before becoming more complex with nuances of blood orange and star fruit. On the finish, the fruit darkens elegantly (blackcurrant, fig) to give way to notes of warm spices such as black pepper, dark chocolate, and cinnamon.

A Gastronomic Experience

On the palate, the attack is fleshy and luscious. The Pinot Noir's structure is chiseled with rare precision, offering sensations of crisp stone fruits (plum, cherry). The Extra-Brut dosage (5g/l) allows a delicate astringency to express itself on the finish, supported by notes of pink grapefruit and lime zest, prolonging the pleasure of the tasting.

Why choose this bottle?

Offered in pristine condition, this Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé 2013 is the ideal choice for those seeking a "Grand Champagne Rosé" without the premium price tag. Its certified provenance and optimal cellar aging guarantee a tasting experience at its peak. Simply unbeatable value for money and emotional appeal for a 2013 vintage.

WUAT's Opinion

This is undoubtedly one of our favorite rosés for dinner. Its vinous character allows it to pair equally well with Peking duck, seared salmon, or a lightly sweetened red fruit dessert. It's a "serious" wine that remains incredibly approachable, a sure bet for any lover of complex rosé sparkling wines.
