Moët & Chandon Rosé Grand Vintage 2013

Moët & Chandon's Vintages is, as always, a good buy. They are still very "underpriced" compared to Dom Perignon. Enjoy it now or save it with an advantage for another 5-10 years to let it mature, but it is still amazing to drink today. The champagne has a light pink in color with orange and autumnal reflections, the Grand Vintage Rosé 2013 inspires with its opulent aromas of spicy fruit: notes of wild strawberries, raspberries, and pomegranate seeds appear on the nose, followed by a certain acidity with l blood orange and caramel. Spicy scents of black pepper, dark chocolate, and cinnamon follow, accompanied by aromas of dried flowers and fresh leather.
The first impression on the palate is spicy and powerful with a lush character. The finely shaped structure of Pinot Noir is immediately revealed, with crunchy aromas of plum and cherry. The power is well balanced, with a delicate astringency of pink grapefruit and lime zest underlining the long finish. 

Comments from a tasting:

"From Moët & Chandon, Grand Vintage 2013 Rosé Champagne is so lovely on the nose with the tiniest of bubbles fragrant with wild strawberry, soft orange, baked bread, earthy and toasty aromas. Dry, elegant with a persistent satiny mousse and pinpoint acidity finishing on a lemon zesty, saline mineral note. Produced from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Enjoy now and for the next 10 years."
