Its pale white color, derived from carefully selected grapes, underscores the purity of the wine as well as its fine perlage.

Vinification of the Champagne ChardonPinot from Moet Hennessy

The Champagne ChardonPinot from Moet Hennessy is cultivated in the renowned Champagne region (FR), an area with ideal climatic conditions for the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varieties. Here, the grapes are harvested particularly ripe to ensure the best possible quality. Harvesting is done by hand to guarantee gentle handling of each berry and to optimally preserve the freshness of the fruit.

Vinification begins with a gentle pressing of the grapes, using only the first, best juice. This preserves the aromas of brioche and hazelnut particularly well. The wine then undergoes a controlled fermentation process at cool temperatures, which preserves the fine citrus notes and supports the typical elegance of the cuvée.

The maturation of the sparkling wine follows the traditional Champagne method. After the first fermentation, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, which creates the characteristic perlage and allows the bouquet to develop further. Aging on the lees gives the Champagne ChardonPinot from Moet Hennessy its distinctive structure with creamy nuances reminiscent of freshly baked brioche. The dosage is set to brut, which gives the wine its fine, dry profile and accentuates the natural freshness.
