Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage 2016 Extra Brut Champagne 75cl

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2016 Extra Brut Champagne 75cl is a distinctive and refined expression of a singular vintage, revealing the character and resilience of a challenging year in Champagne. Despite a difficult growing season, this cuvée celebrates the unique triumph of 2016's Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes, brought together in a carefully balanced, expressive blend.

Aged for six years in Moët & Chandon’s historic cellars and a further six months post-disgorgement, this extra brut Champagne (5g/l dosage) is crafted with precision, showcasing purity and maturity with minimal sweetness.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: A slightly golden yellow hue with vibrant green reflections

• Nose: Opens with earthy and dry notes of toasted bread, grains, and hazelnut, evolving into delicate aromas of gingerbread, marzipan, and barley sugar, with persistent background hints of plum, mirabelle, quince, orange blossom, and aniseed

• Palate: A serene and rounded texture, beginning with a soft, supple attack that transitions into a structured core. The finish brings a citrus lift reminiscent of clementine and pomelo, creating a perfectly refreshing close

Craftsmanship & Maturation:

• Aged in cellars: 6 years

• Post-disgorgement ageing: 6 months minimum

• Dosage: 5g/l (Extra Brut)

• Grape character: A tribute to the expression and maturity of Pinot Noir and Meunier under the guidance of Moët’s cellar master

Serving Suggestions:

• Ideal as an aperitif for connoisseurs

• Pairs elegantly with lobster, scallops, or lightly spiced poultry dishes

• Serve chilled in tulip flutes to enhance its aromatic depth and structured finish
