50% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay, 14% Meunier. Aged on lees seven years. Disgorged January 2017. Dosage 5 g/l. Tasted blind from magnum . Pale greenish gold. Smoky, slightly rubbery nose. Then quite rich on the palate. But with very delicate texture. Flattering on the palate. (JR)

50% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay, 14% Pinot Meunier (highest proportion of Pinot Noir since 1996), from predominantly grand and premier crus. Aged for seven years on the lees. Dosage 5 g/l. Disgorged January 2017. Mytik Diam technological cork closure. Tasted blind. A certain amount of tension on the nose. Pear juice and round and satiny. Quite similar in quality to the other vintage of Moët tasted alongside [the 2008]. Long. Rich. But chewy on the end. More obvious acidity [than the 2008]. (JR)
Moët’s 2009 Extra Brut Grand Vintage is radiant, supple and voluptuous, with all of the generosity of the year front and center. Candied lemon, almond, chamomile, brioche and baked apple tart develop in a rich, inviting champagne that will drink beautifully upon release. A wine of pure and total pleasure, the 2009 is one of those Champagnes that disappears in an instant.
Magnum. The year was full of excesses in all directions. Lush, fruit-driven vintage with the highest proportion of Pinot Noir since 1996. Fine and rather majestic with an attractive savoury spine. Lots of fun and bumptious fruit and attraction. Lightly bitter finish. Quite long. A very good Grand Vintage. Melon-like fruit. (JR)
