by Rebecca Gibb – Moët & Chandon has revealed that the 2004 vintage will follow the recent 
release of its 2002 Grand Vintage.
It will be released at the end of next year, Moët winemaker Axelle Araud told Decanter.com.
‘The ’02 is very complex but I think the ’04 will be a bit more subtle, more delicate,’ Araud said. ‘It has been on lees since 2005 and it should be very classical. It was a good ripening season.’
She would not divulge the composition of the blend, which changes each vintage. In 2002, it consisted of 51% Chardonnay, 26% Pinot Noir and 23% Pinot Meunier.
