Vinification of the Champagne from Moet Hennessy

The basis of the Champagne from Moet Hennessy is the exquisite selection of the grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir, which come from the renowned vineyards of the Champagne region in France. The vines grow on calcareous soils that are characteristic of this region and lend the wines their typical minerality.

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness in order to preserve the delicate qualities. After gentle pressing, controlled fermentation takes place, which can occur in stainless steel or wooden barrels, in order to preserve the clear fruit aromas and develop the brioche note without letting it become too dominant.

A traditional Champagne method is used for this sparkling wine: after the first fermentation, the different grape varieties are assembled into the cuvée. The wine then undergoes its second fermentation in the bottle, which creates the characteristic perlage. The maturation takes place over several months to give the wine complexity and depth without impairing its freshness. Finally, the dosage level is adjusted precisely so that the brut style appears harmonious and fine.
