We have a great opportunity today with a chance to reload on the wonderful Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage Rose 2008.

2008 is widely considered to be an outstanding vintage in Champagne, one of the finest of the decade.

Moet has produced something special. In this vintage, it is Vinous 94+ points, earning higher marks from Antonio Galloni than other, more illustrious and expensive Rose cuvees from some of the elite growers: Jacquesson, Jerome Prevost and Philipponnat to name just a few of our favorites.

"2008 is widely considered to be an outstanding vintage in Champagne, one of the finest of the decade along with 2002...Even during the harvest, most people were already highly enthusiastic about the vintage. Sugars were unexpectedly high, and unusually, malic acidity levels were also high as well, thanks to those cool nights. Acidity is certainly pronounced when tasting the 2008 vins clairs, although for me the vintage is also marked by an exceptional harmony, and in most cases the still wines are not nearly as severe Michel Loriot during the 2008 harvestas you might expect from simply looking at the numbers. There is plenty of structure to be sure, but that balance seems to bode well for future aging." - Peter Liem, Champagne Guide

Highly recommend for quality and value.

Please see below, and let us know if you'd be interested in some of this wine. Expected arrival early May.

Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage Rose 2008
$65 per bottle

94+ points Vinous: "Moët's 2008 Grand Vintage Rosé is fabulous. Light on its feet and gracious, the 2008 impresses with exceptional balance and crystalline purity. There is a translucence to the 2008 that is impossible to miss. Sweet rose petal, autumn leaves, tobacco, mint and licorice are woven together in an intricate fabric of aromas and textures. Wiry and sculpted in the style of the year, the 2008 Grand Vintage Rosé is fabulous. Light on its feet and gracious, the 2008 impresses with exceptional balance and is probably the single most impressive young Champagne I have tasted from Moët in some time. The 2008 is 46% Pinot Noir (of which 20% red wine), 32% Chardonnay, 225 Pinot Meunier. Dosage is 5 grams per liter."
