There have been fewer than 80 across the house's history, each one a separate decision rather than an annual habit. The 2004 arrives here in Jeroboam, three litres in a single bottle, which is theatre before you've even reached for the foil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eÉpernay is Moët's home, and the 2004 draws across all three Champagne grapes: 38% Chardonnay for lift and citrus, 33% Pinot Noir for structure, 29% Pinot Meunier for roundness. Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez kept the dosage low at 5g\/L, so the wine reads crisp and precise rather than plush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe large format is the point. Wine ages more slowly in a Jeroboam, with less oxygen reaching it per volume against the cork, so this bottle has held its freshness where a standard 75cl would have moved further on. Expect white peach, lemon and pineapple up front, then marzipan, hazelnut and a digestive-biscuit warmth from the years on lees, all carried on a fine, insistent bead. Toast and almond sit underneath, and the finish stays tight and mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Jeroboam pours for a dozen or more without breaking the mood to open another. Bring it out when the room is full and the moment deserves scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 8–10°C. A large format warms slowly, so keep it on ice between pours. White-wine glasses, not flutes, for a wine with this much to say.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Wolseley, Bentley's, or The River Cafe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA whole roast chicken for the table; the toast and almond notes love roasted skin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57002986111300,"sku":"HO37701C04","price":599.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/2004.png?v=1785775522","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/grand-vintage-jeroboam-moet-chandon-2004-300cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
