In the world of Champagne, few names are as recognisable as Moët (correctly pronounced with the 't'). Their rosé is a stalwart of the category, with a fruit-forward profile of spicy red fruits and a touch of creaminess. It is fairly straightforward and easy drinking, with a fresh cranberry and strawberry finish.

Moet harvests red wine for its vintage rose from its best estate pinot noir plots of low-yielding old vines, green harvested to reduce yields when necessary.

Twice the necessary vineyard area is prepared, to permit choice of the grapes with the best phenolic maturity to provide structure. Red wine is macerated for 5-7 days to draw ripe, foster character, without hard tannins.
A full-crimson hue with copper tint announces a tangy and savoury rose that contrasts the acid drive and tension of the season with the savoury, reductive style of Moet. Red apple, tomato and tart morello cherry notes declare its pinot noir lead, accented with gentle spice, and reinforced by a dry finish of bitter, dry grip,
Gentle phenolic bitterness and bright 2008 acidity conspire to create a firm ending that calls for further ege to soften. A characterful and age-worthy release for Moet.
