Moet and Chandon Grand Vintage 2003
Production
Moet and Chandon uses the méthode champenoise for their champagne production. The Grand Vintage 2003 is composed of 43% Pinot Meunier, 29% Pinot Noir and 28% Chardonnay. The Moet and Chandon Grand Vintage 2003 is aged 7 years on lees and given a dosage of 5 g/l. The 2003 harvest challenging. Late frosts and an unusually hot summer led to one of the earliest harvests on record. Chardonnay grapes had a particularly difficult time. Pinot Meunier faired best and is the backbone, leading to an intense, robust champagne.
