Moët & Chandon MCIII 001.14 is hailed as the world's first "ultra-prestige cuvée" and one of the most complex Champagnes available, a culmination of decades of experimentation and 15 years of dedicated work. The name MCIII signifies Moët & Chandon, with "III" referring to the three distinct aging environments used in its creation: metal (stainless steel tanks), wood (oak barrels), and glass (old reserve wines aged in bottles). The "001.14" designation indicates the first batch, which was disgorged in 2014 after a remarkable 10 years of maturation in the cellars. This innovative blend incorporates reserve wines from 2003 (aged in stainless steel), Grand Vintage blends from 2002, 2000, and 1998 (partially aged in oak), and even older Grand Vintages from 1999, 1998, and 1993 that were opened from bottles to be integrated into the assemblage. 【World's first 'ultra-prestige cuvée' blending wines aged in three different environments: metal, wood, and glass, offering unparalleled complexity.】 This sophisticated Champagne offers a rich and elegant profile. The nose reveals mature and stunning components such as coffee, mocha, and liquorice, evolving into fruity notes of kumquats, verbena, and bergamot. The palate is intensely rich, with candied citrus fruits, dried figs, and dates melting with soft spices, leading to a precise and invigorating finish. Tasting notes also describe abundant honey, walnut, and patisserie aromas, a buttery and tropical character, yet with an unexpected freshness and ample acidity, alongside lingering layers of fruit and dried fruits.
