1999 Moet & Chandon Millesime Rose

The 1999 Brut Rosé Grand Vintage is rich, deep and vinous to the core, with layers of powerful fruit and tons of intensity. Stylistically, the 1999 is a big, somewhat rustic Champagne built on power. There is a real sense of phenolics and tannin, which means the wine is best enjoyed at the dinner table alongside food rather than on its own. The 1999 is 48% Pinot Noir, 26% Chardonnay and 26% Pinot Meunier. Almost half the Pinot Noir is still red Pinot. Dosage is 7 grams per liter.
