moët's vintage, from the hot, low-yielding 2003 vintage, has an unusually high percentage of pinot meunier (43%), suggesting there is a distinct character to the year. it's certainly powerful and intense, soft initially, hinting at toast and yeast, the fruit almost sweet, even though the wine is a brut style. it is the rich strawberry flavor that's most surprising on a wine that really has integrated impressively.
