Grand Vintage 2016 is the 77th vintage in Mo?t & Chandon?s history. 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 irresistible light. 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, jasmine, fruit notes such as white peach and watermelon. Floral, aniseed and mentholated nuances which bring lightness and freshnes, the finish lingers on a delicate bitterness evoking fresh almonds

Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay. In Champagne, 2015 was a year of tension, dramatic heat & uncertainty? A clement winter was followed by a cool beginning of spring marked by an icy spell and infrequent but heavy rain. Then, an abrupt switch to extreme heat and a dry spell ensued. It was the hottest sun since 1961, but then temperatures plummeted at the end of August, and precious downpours relieved the parched soil. The harvest began serenely. Nevertheless, the fruit matured well, with good concentration and striking aromas. It was a harvest of exceptional red-skinned grapes. This year, the Meuniers and the Pinot Noirs were showing exceptional maturity with a powerful, fruity nose and full-bodied finish.
