Mother’s Day calls for superior champagne and Moët & Chandon’s Grand Vintage Collection 1999 is the best option. This is the brand’s 66th vintage since 1842. The wine’s maturity is evident in the warm notes of wax, cake and cashew nut and scents of the fall harvest. On the palate, one is immediately charmed by the sensation of power and roundness, an affirmation of radiant, fleshy, expansive fruitiness. The generous flavour expands into notes of dates and honey, evolving toward a finish with a savoury bittersweet hint of coffee.
MSRP $140.
