    Vintage & Background
    The 1983 Champagne vintage delivered ripe fruit and balanced structure, offering excellent ageing potential. Produced to mark Moët & Chandon’s 250th anniversary, this commemorative cuvée reflects both the house’s heritage and its skill in crafting long-lived Champagne. Decades of bottle age have shaped it into a rare and expressive mature wine.

    Appearance & Nose
    Deep gold with subtle amber tones, the wine shows a fine, gentle mousse. The bouquet is complex and evolved, revealing dried apricot, baked apple, and preserved citrus peel. Notes of honey, toasted brioche, roasted nuts, and warm spice follow, with hints of mushroom, truffle, and light smokiness adding depth.

    Palate & Texture
    The palate is rich yet poised, with caramelised orchard fruit, fig, and marmalade balanced by savoury brioche, nut, and coffee notes. Softened but still supportive acidity provides lift, while the texture is silky and well integrated. The finish is long and layered, marked by nutty complexity and dried fruit.

    Maturity & Drinking Window
    Now fully mature and drinking at its peak, this cuvée is best enjoyed now to appreciate its tertiary complexity, though well-stored bottles may hold a little longer.

    Serving & Pairing Suggestions
    Serve at 11–12 °C in a tulip glass. Pair with roasted poultry, veal, or mushroom-based dishes, as well as aged Comté or Parmesan. Truffle-accented dishes make an especially harmonious match.

    Overall Verdict
    A distinguished, contemplative Champagne that showcases the beauty of extended ageing. Complex, elegant, and deeply expressive, the Moët & Chandon 250th Anniversary Cuvée 1983 is a rare collector’s bottle, best savoured on special occasions.
