Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage 2015

Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage is unique and original, the winemaker's personal and free interpretation of the unique qualities of the grapes of that vintage.

Dry, ripe and healthy vintages suit the pinot noir, the main component of this blend. With 44% pinot noir, you have to go back to 2009 (50%) and 1996 (50%) to find such a high proportion. It also contains 32% Chardonnay and 24% Meunier.

Grand Vintage 2015 is the 76th vintage in the history of Moët & Chandon. It evokes an awakening, the first rays of a day full of promise. It is ripe, tender and enveloping. With an unexpected freshness for a year that had the hottest summer since 1961, Grand Vintage 2015 is a story of intense heat and drought, as well as radiating light.

Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage tasting notes

Moet & Chandon Grand Vintage has a bright pale colour. Bright lemon yellow, luminous reflections and fine bubbles.

NOSE - A tender and vegetal bouquet:

The nose expresses a soft and fresh white-green universe. Initial notes of breadcrumbs, fresh brioche and almond paste. Notes of elderflower and jasmine. Fruity notes of white peach and watermelon. Notes of garrigue complete the blend.

PALATE - A frank and enveloping palate:

Direct and confident attack. Generous, ample and supple structure like cotton blossom. Enveloping and caressing texture. Floral, aniseed and menthol nuances that bring lightness and freshness. The finish lingers with a delicate bitterness reminiscent of fresh almonds
