Moet & Chandon

The much acclaimed Moet & Chandon brand needs no introduction as everyone would have known that Dom Perignon comes from the same group too! I must say that I'm embarrassed to reveal that despite I have been drinking bottles and bottles of DP, I actually haven't try Moet & Chandon range of champagnes.

Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be invited by my friends to join them for a dinner for 10 organised by Riche Monde to try some wines & spirits under the LVMH group. We started with 2 bottles of M&C Brut Imperial, and then a bottle of Terrazas Reserva Chardonnay 2007, Clos Apalta, Cheval des Andes 2005, Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon 2005, and a bottle of Newton 2002 unfiltered Merlot from Napa Valley. The prices of these wines are not cheap, ranging from over a hundred ringgit to over RM200. However, I find the palate of these wines rather disappointing because it's short and lack of lingering tastes.

I thought it's supposed to be a champagne-filled-dinner but we ended up having a few whites and reds after the 2 bottles of M&C. One of my friends sneaked a bottle of Pauillac in. So naughty. We ended up enjoying the french wine rather than what was offered on the table! Spoilt!
