Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2016 Rosé 75 cl. incl. two MOËT Signature Glass

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé 2016 is the cellar master's unique expression of a remarkable year in Champagne.

The weather
The 2016 grape harvest in Champagne reflects the region's traditional unpredictability. The winter was wet and cool, causing some mildew and grape loss, followed by a rainy spring and summer that dried the vineyards and led to water stress and further fruit loss. Despite these challenges, the remaining grapes matured well, especially Meuniers and Pinots Noirs, which make up 85% of this champagne.

Tasting notes
Medium pink with brilliant bluish reflections

The fruitiness is immediately apparent: syrupy red fruits, slightly crushed strawberries, raspberries and late summer blueberries take the front line. Complemented by delicate, colorful floral aromas: rose, hibiscus, violet. Shades of gingerbread and chocolate powder.

The palate offers an immediate sensation of pleasure, with a fine, supple and harmonious profile. The fruit appears fresher than expected, displaying perfectly ripe raspberries. The initial light texture gradually gives way and gives a nice sensation of sweetness.
