✨ Technical Specifications
Moët & Chandon's relationship with the British Royal Family is legendary, dating back to the 19th century when the house was granted a Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria. This prestigious connection culminated in the release of the Platinum Jubilee Cuvée, celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's historic 70-year reign. Crafted in the classic Champagne tradition, this cuvée reflects the house's signature style—a harmonious assembly of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay sourced from the region's chalky soils. The wine undergoes traditional secondary fermentation in the bottle and extended lees aging in the house's labyrinthine chalk cellars in Épernay, resulting in a vibrant, elegant Champagne with notes of brioche, white flowers, and fresh citrus.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1743 by Claude Moët, Moët & Chandon stands as Champagne's quintessential global ambassador. Anchored along the prestigious Avenue de Champagne in Épernay, the maison commands approximately 1,190 hectares of prime estate vineyards spanning the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne, supplemented by an extensive network of grower partnerships. Viticulture emphasizes sustainability through certified Haute Valeur Environnementale (HVE) and Viticulture Durable en Champagne (VDC) protocols, eliminating chemical herbicides. Underground, 28 kilometers of historic chalk crayères provide the microclimatic stability required for extended lees maturation. Guided by longtime Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez, the winemaking philosophy prioritizes bright fruit purity, seductive palates, and elegant maturity through temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification and malolactic fermentation. The portfolio spans the ubiquitous benchmark Moët Impérial to the terroir-driven Grand Vintage expressions and multi-vintage prestige assemblages like Collection Impériale, epitomizing grand-scale precision and classical Champagne typicity.
