Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2016 is a Champagne of remarkable character and maturity, expressing the individuality of a challenging yet rewarding vintage. Crafted only in exceptional years, this is the 43rd Grand Vintage in the House’s history, and it stands apart for its tension, precision, and textural depth. The blend — 41% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Noir, and 22% Meunier — reflects both balance and power, shaped by a year marked by frost, a cool spring, and a warm, dry summer that yielded concentrated, expressive fruit.

Pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles, it opens with aromas of white peach, citrus zest, toasted almonds, and fresh brioche. The palate is layered and refined — creamy yet taut — showing flavours of lemon curd, apricot, and subtle spice, underscored by a saline minerality and a long, elegant finish. This 2016 Grand Vintage is both structured and graceful, offering a beautiful snapshot of the season’s complexity and the Moët hallmark of finesse and freshness. Perfect for fine dining, seafood, or to cellar for further evolution.
