| Color | Delicately golden colour with reflections tending towards green. |
| Perfume | The fleeting primary aromas are brown and dry: of toasted bread, cereals and hazelnuts. The secondary aromas, on the other hand, express more delicacy: gingerbread, marzipan, barley sugar. The finish is more persistent, with fruity and floral notes: plum, mirabelle, quince, orange blossom and aniseed. |
| Taste | A joyful and round palate. The different scents effortlessly envelop the mouth, like a fading scene from a film or a gentle wave breaking on the sand before gently receding. The pliant, rounded initial attack develops naturally into a structured core-like sensation, culminating in a finish reminiscent of the sweet and tangy freshness of a clementine or pomelo. |

Moët began business with Madame de Pompadour in 1750 who continually supplied the Royal Court at Compiègne with Moët's champagne. Also in 1750, Moët began establishing business in Germany, Spain, Eastern Europe, and colonial British America. In 1792, on Claude Moët's death, grandson Jean-Rémy Moët took control of Moët et Cie, and expanded the business buying the vineyards of the Abbey of Hautvillers, where Benedictine monk Dom Perignon perfected double-fermentation for creating champagne.
