MOET 2016 GRAND VINTAGE 750ML

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2016

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2016 is a beautifully expressive vintage Champagne that captures the character of the exceptional 2016 growing season in Champagne. Produced only in years deemed worthy of vintage designation, Grand Vintage reflects Moët & Chandon’s interpretation of a specific harvest rather than a house style alone.

The 2016 Grand Vintage is built around the classic Champagne trio of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Meunier, with Chardonnay playing an important role in the wine’s freshness and elegance. It presents a refined bouquet of white flowers, citrus, ripe orchard fruit, brioche, almond, and subtle pastry notes.

On the palate, the wine is vibrant and precise, combining lemon, green apple, pear, stone fruit, and delicate toasted notes with fine, persistent bubbles. As it opens, additional layers of brioche, hazelnut, and gentle spice emerge, leading to a long, graceful finish marked by freshness and minerality.

The 2016 vintage offers the sophistication expected from Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage, making it particularly appealing to Champagne collectors and enthusiasts looking for a distinctive vintage bottling with both immediate elegance and cellaring potential.

Food Pairings: Excellent with oysters, lobster, sushi, caviar, grilled seafood, roast poultry, delicate cream sauces, and aged cheeses. It is equally compelling as an aperitif for a special occasion.

Why It Stands Out: Unlike non-vintage Champagne, which is blended to maintain a consistent house profile, Grand Vintage is produced as an expression of the harvest year. The 2016 bottling offers an elegant combination of freshness, complexity, and developed Champagne character.
