This 3-liter Jeroboam is also made from the three Champagne grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay. All the grapes are grown in the finest areas within the Champagne region. In addition to the 600 hectares of vineyards that Maison Moët owns, they also have long-term partnerships with winegrowing families who carefully cultivate grapes for Moët & Chandon. As you can probably imagine, only the best is good enough for these world-famous Champagnes. This is also evident at Rue de Champagne in Eperney, where Moët & Chandon's main building is located, providing access to the magnificent cellars. A visit to these cellars is definitely worth it!
The aging of a 3-liter Jeroboam bottle is much better than in a standard bottle due to its size. In this 3-liter bottle, the Champagne has the optimal space and time to develop into a perfect Champagne. This Moët & Chandon 3-Liter case is certainly a perfect Champagne! Even uncorking this large bottle is a true celebration. Upon pouring, we immediately see the straw-yellow color with a golden shimmer. This shimmer is caused by the fine mousse that dances through the glass. On the nose, we encountered a broad and pleasant bouquet of citrus, apple, pear, and freshly baked bread. The fine mousse gives this Brut Imperial a pleasant and soft mouthfeel. The flavor offers rich nuances of white fruit, nicely balanced by a subtle hint of citrus. The finish is wonderfully refreshing and, thanks to the large 3-liter Jeroboam bottle, a true celebration!
