Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Brut 2016
A monumental Champagne in terms of charisma, breadth, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates between notes of petit pastries and hints of yellow fruit, with extremely refined minerality. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the vinousness of Pinot Noir and the chalky verticality. A display of style that embodies the essence of a sunny vintage.
Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Brut 2016
The Grand Vintage 2015 by Moët & Chandon is a monumental work, the 76th edition in the Maison's history, born in a year marked by exceptional heat that produced grapes of rare concentration. This Champagne breaks the mold of the house's classic softness to offer a profile that is more austere, vertical, and deeply distinctive. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of baked goods, toasted brioche, and bitter almond merge with profound hints of white peach, elderflower, bergamot, and a mineral streak reminiscent of chalk and sea spray. On the palate, it is sumptuous and three-dimensional; the entry is broad and structured, dominated by a dense but vibrant body, with a noble and extremely fine bubble that extends into a savory, endless finish with an interminable aromatic persistence, marked by aristocratic balsamic freshness.
