The 2016 Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé is an elegant, finely structured and beautifully expressive Champagne that reflects both the character of the year and the Maison’s long-standing mastery of blending. Since 1842, Moët & Chandon has crafted Grand Vintage cuvées only in years that show truly distinctive fruit and the potential for long ageing. The 2016 Rosé marks the 43rd Rosé Grand Vintage, capturing the season’s tension, purity and precision in a wine of remarkable depth and finesse.
The 2016 season in Champagne was shaped by dramatic spring frosts and summer warmth, followed by a cool, dry ripening period that produced Pinot Noir of outstanding intensity and structural definition. This vintage is marked by clarity, freshness and layered complexity — qualities that shine through in the Grand Vintage Rosé.
The wine opens with refined aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, blood orange and redcurrant. Subtle floral notes of rose petal and hibiscus intertwine with hints of pastry, almond, brioche and chalky minerality. Gentle savoury tones of pepper, dried herbs and rosehip reflect the maturity of the Pinot Noir component.
On the palate, the 2016 Grand Vintage Rosé is poised and textural, offering a harmonious interplay of juicy red fruit, crisp citrus and fine, chalk-driven acidity. The mousse is delicate and persistent, carrying flavours of red berries, pink grapefruit, crushed raspberry and subtle spice across a long, refined finish. The structure is elegant yet firm, showing excellent tension and the capacity for graceful ageing.
Presented in an official Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage gift box, this cuvée embodies sophistication both inside and out — an exceptional choice for gifting, celebration or cellaring.
