✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted to celebrate nearly three centuries of winemaking excellence since Claude Moët founded the house in 1743, the Cuvée 280ème Anniversaire Grand Vintage represents the pinnacle of Moët & Chandon's savoir-faire. This exceptional Champagne is born from the region's iconic chalk soils, utilizing a meticulous selection of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier from the finest Grand and Premier Cru parcels. Historically favored by royal courts—most famously by Madame de Pompadour, who declared Champagne the only wine that leaves a woman beautiful after drinking—this commemorative cuvée undergoes extended cellar aging on its lees. This patient maturation coaxes out deep, multi-layered complexity, balancing vibrant citrus and white floral notes with rich brioche, toasted hazelnut, and a refined, creamy mousse.
