✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977, the Moët & Chandon Silver Jubilee Cuvée is a historic masterpiece that highlights the house's long-standing relationship with the British Royal Family, who first granted Moët a Royal Warrant in 1893. This exceptional cuvée was blended from select Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in Champagne, showcasing the traditional harmony of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Aged extensively on its lees to develop profound complexity, this rare release represents the pinnacle of mid-20th-century Champagne craftsmanship, offering a rich tapestry of toasted brioche, honeyed stone fruit, and deep mineral undertones born from the region's iconic chalk soils.
🍾 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.
