In recent vintages, Moet Champagne in general have been going drier within the boundaries of the Brut classification. The 2012 Extra Brut takes the trend to a new level with but 5 grams of residual sugar per liter. This vintage rocks with subtle notes of green apple and citrus, a refined mousse and a long, impressive finish. You can certainly pop the corks now, but I would give this one an additional five years in the cellar, which will increase the "wow" factor exponentially.
