The Making of Grand Vintage 2016 Moët & Chandon

The Grand Vintage 2016 is the 77th vintage of the brand. Composed of 48% Chardonnay, 34% Pinot Noir, and 18% Meunier, the Grand Vintage 2016 is a tribute to the richness of Champagne terroirs. The grapes reflect the excellence of a vintage marked by contrasting climatic conditions. The Chardonnay, fresh and mineral, offers subtle citrus aromas. The Pinot Noir brings generous and vinous notes, while the Meunier adds a touch of fruit.

This vintage was vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve aromatic purity. The champagne then aged for at least five years in the historic cellars of Moët & Chandon, with a subtle dosage of 5 g/l, creating a perfect balance between freshness and complexity.

The 2016 Vintage

The 2016 vintage is the result of an exceptional year, where nature challenged Champagne winemakers. After a wet spring and a hot summer, the harvest revealed black grapes of remarkable quality. This year is distinguished by the perfect balance between tension and maturity, offering champagnes with unique aromatic depth.
