Description

Champagne Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé 2016 in a case embodies all the elegance and singularity of a complex and unpredictable year in Champagne. Marked by climatic challenges but also by an exceptional end of season, this vintage delivers an expression full of freshness, fruit and refinement, true to the spirit of the House's great rosés.

Making Champagne Grand Vintage Rosé 2016

Grand Vintage Rosé 2016 in a case is made from a meticulous blend:

• 43% Pinot Noir, 13% of which is vinified in red to bring color, structure and aromatic intensity.
• 42% Chardonnay for finesse, tension and freshness.
• 15% Meunier for suppleness and roundness.

Aging on lees for 6 years in the cellar allows the wine to develop its complexity and fullness. After disgorging, a further 6 months of rest perfects its harmony. The Extra Brut dosage of 5 g/L ensures a remarkable balance between freshness and maturity.

The 2016 vintage

2016 was a year of extreme contrasts, with tormented weather conditions, but the resilience of the vines produced grapes of exceptional quality, particularly for the red varieties. Grand Vintage Rosé 2016 perfectly illustrates this new-found serenity, offering a champagne vibrant with freshness and aromatic expression, both intense and elegant.

Tasting the cuvée

• Color

  Grand Vintage Rosé 2016 is a medium-bright pink with subtle bluish highlights, brilliant and seductive.

• Nose

  The nose is greedy and fruity, with aromas of red fruits in syrup (strawberries, crushed raspberries) and ripe blueberries, enriched by floral notes of rose, hibiscus and violet. In the background, delicate accents of gingerbread and chocolate powder complete the aromatic palette.

• Palate

  Tender, supple and harmonious on the palate. The fruit is fresh, reminiscent of just-ripe raspberries. The structure gradually softens, bringing a sensation of delicate sweetness. The finish, slightly astringent and airy, leaves an impression of delicate silk on the palate.
