Vintage Details

The harvest that gives life to Champagne Brut “Moët Impérial Pharrell Williams” Limited Edition Gold - Moët & Chandon comes from a selection of grapes from balanced vintages, typical of the Champagne region. The temperate climate, characterized by mild summers and good temperature variations, favors the slow and harmonious ripening of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay grapes, the three symbolic varieties of the appellation. This combination offers a balance of freshness, structure, and aromatic complexity.

Winemaking and Aging

Production follows the classic method, which involves a first fermentation in steel tanks and a second fermentation directly in the bottle. The wine ages on its lees for about 36 months, a period that imparts softness and depth. A moderate dosage, typical of Brut Champagnes, is added during disgorgement to maintain freshness and vibrancy without excessive sweetness.
