✨ Technical Specifications
Moët & Chandon's connection to the United States is deeply historical, dating back to 1787 when the first shipments of their Champagne arrived on American shores. To honor this long-standing relationship and historic milestones such as the American Bicentennial, Moët & Chandon has occasionally crafted special commemorative cuvées. Embodying the classic Champagne blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, this white Champagne showcases the prestigious terroir of the Marne Valley, Côte des Blancs, and Montagne de Reims. Crafted using the traditional method with extensive lees aging, it reflects the house's signature style: a vibrant fruitiness, a seductive palate, and an elegant maturity. The chalk-rich soils of Champagne impart a distinct mineral backbone, making this historical tribute both a collector's piece and a masterclass in classic French sparkling winemaking.
