Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2015 0,75l 12,5% GB

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2015 is an exceptional vintage champagne that reflects the cellar master’s personal vision of that particular year. Each Grand Vintage is a unique expression of a specific harvest, and the 2015 vintage bears the mark of a year filled with tension, dramatic heat waves, and uncertainty. The result is a champagne with a brilliant expression, a delicate aroma, and an enveloping flavor.

This vintage is the 76th Grand Vintage in the history of Moët & Chandon. The year 2015 was exceptionally favorable for red grapes, particularly the Pinot Noir variety, which makes up the majority of the blend. The grapes achieved remarkable ripeness, pronounced fruitiness, and a full finish.

The cuvée consists of 44% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay, and 24% Meunier. The champagne aged for 6 years in the cellars and for at least another 6 months after disgorgement. The dosage is 5 g/l, which classifies it as extra brut.

Tasting Profile:

Nose: Delicate, herbal, and elegant. Notes of breadcrumbs, fresh brioche, almond paste, elderflower, jasmine, white peach, melon, and a subtle hint of garrigue at dawn emerge.

Palate: Direct, full-bodied, enveloping, and smooth. The texture evokes a cotton flower, complemented by floral, anise, and menthol nuances.

Finish: Long, slightly juicy, with a delicate bitterness reminiscent of fresh almonds.
