Moët & Chandon 's Grand Vintages X Thijs Vervloet
In a meeting of craftsmanship and creativity, Moët & Chandon's Grand Vintages found their perfect companion in the exquisite gastronomy of Chef Thijs Vervloet. The recent collaboration at Colette – De Vijvers showcased the brilliance of Moët & Chandon's Grand Vintage wines, creating an iconic moment that will be remembered by all fortunate enough to attend.
As the year-end festivities approach, Moët & Chandon hosted an exclusive event at the renowned two-star restaurant Colette - De Vijvers. The champagne house aims to strengthen its ties with Belgian Michelin-starred chefs, emphasizing the exceptional quality of Grand Vintages with unique wine references.
The event highlighted the Grand Vintages' ability to complement a full meal, showcasing the perfect pairing skills of Chef Thijs Vervloet. Moët & Chandon's winemakers, with their expertise and the finest grapes, have crafted perfect champagnes, complemented by Chef Vervloet's culinary artistry.
Belgian Brilliance
Belgium, chosen intentionally for this event, reflects a rising interest in premium champagnes and boasts a prominent position in the global culinary landscape. Moët & Chandon aims to enhance its collaboration with Belgian fine dining leaders, marrying the classic mastery of an age-old champagne house with the creative craftsmanship of talented chefs.
While champagne is often associated with aperitifs, the Grand Vintages 2015, Grand Vintage Rosé 2015, and Grand Vintage 2013 from Moët & Chandon are ideal companions for a festive meal. Chef Thijs Vervloet curated a menu at Colette – De Vijvers specifically for this event, showcasing the exclusive champagnes.
The collaboration between Chef Thijs Vervloet and Moët & Chandon is not coincidental. Vervloet's kitchen aligns with the values reflected in every Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage: creative interpretation, top quality, and iconic status.
The event was graced by Marie-Christine Osselin, Wine Quality and Communication Manager from Moët & Chandon, who shared insights alongside Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez. The Grand Vintages tell a unique story of each specific year, with Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez emphasizing the individuality of each creation.

Timeless Elegance Unveiled
Distinguishing Grand Vintage from the iconic Moët Impérial, the former narrates the story of a specific dimension of a year. Crafted from a single year's harvest, each Grand Vintage reflects the unique weather conditions, influencing grapes' ripening, sugar content, and freshness.
The Grand Vintages, including 2015, 2013, and Rosé 2015, share a commonality—they age for six to seven years on lees, sealed with a metal crown cap before disgorgement. These millésimé champagnes can be aged longer than regular ones, with proper storage conditions.
Moët & Chandon's choice of Belgium for this extraordinary event underscores the country's growing interest in premium champagnes and its status as a culinary pioneer with numerous Michelin-starred restaurants.
As Moët & Chandon continues to mark significant moments in history and personal celebrations, the Grand Vintages 2015 launch reinforces the brand's commitment to excellence, innovation, and the timeless celebration of life's extraordinary moments.
