The Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage represents a year like no other in the Champagne region, with the cellar master declaring a vintage harvest on the basis of truly exceptional grape quality. The Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2008 is the 72nd of the maison’s vintage champagnes. 2008 was a cool year, with a mild winter giving way to a wet and cloudy spring, followed by a cool, dry summer. September proved a crucial month. Beginning with a spell of rain followed by strong northwesterly winds that aerated the grapes and prevented rot, it ended with warm, sunny weather that gave the grapes every opportunity to ripen: all in all, perfect conditions that have conspired to make Grand Vintage 2008 a champagne of unique intensity.
