Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The Chardonnay dominant and the mineral signature of the 2016 vintage deliver a well-defined citrus and chalky tension.
Roundness
Six years of ageing on the lees bestow a velvety texture and a palate of gentle, soothing softness.
Intensity
Restrained and elegant power, true to the house style: never overbearing, always refined.
Length
The finish lingers on notes of toasted brioche and candied citrus — a hallmark of fine ageing potential.

TASTING NOTES

Pale gold in the glass with chartreuse highlights, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, a delicate bouquet of white blossom, conference pear and brioche opens onto a whisper of fresh chalk. The palate is supple and luminous, a silky texture carried by a precise acidity that draws out into a finish of candied citrus and toasted bread.

Moët et Chandon

About this house

Founded in 1743 by Claude Moët in Épernay, Moët & Chandon is one of the most iconic Champagne houses in the world. With over 1,200 hectares of vineyard and 28 km of cellars carved into the chalky subsoil of Champagne, it has embodied three centuries of excellence and international renown.

Its Grand Vintage — a tribute to the singular character of each harvest — is the most personal expression of Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez's vision. The 2016, the house's 77th vintage, is born of a turbulent year transformed by six years of cellar maturation, revealing a serene and luminous harmony.

The silky texture and citrus notes converse elegantly with the briny richness of a salmon tartare.

The roundness and length of the 2016 marry perfectly with the buttery unctuousness of a sole meunière au Champagne.
