The first notes of vanilla, almond and hazelnut are followed by nuances of colourful sun-soaked Summer fruits – apricots, yellow peaches, nectarines, poached pears. Gradually this generous fruitiness is joined by a soft spiciness of cinnamon, gingerbread and freshly-ground coffee.

Deep and structured, the Grand Vintage is fleshly, ample and smooth. This unctuous sensuality ­reminiscent of leather and cashmere – segues into a warm finale of slightly acid licorice and candied grapefruit.

From an extraordinary year and an incomparable fruit, Moet & Chandon has created a profound champagne, one that announces its colours without artifice, intrigues by its honesty. A wine that, having weathered all challenges, has come through with a robust serenity, a formal generosity and a comfortable presence.

Grand Vintage is an assemblage of the three champagne grape varieties - Pinot Meunier 43%, Pinot Noir 29%, Chardonnay 28%.

The wine sees a dosage of 5 g/l.
