After around seven years ageing in Moët and Chandon’s cellars, the wine reveals a remarkable maturity. I vaguely get the suggested aroma of almond paste giving way to elderflower which is again subtly evoked in the taste which settles on the delicate side of bitterness. Champagne Grand Vintage 2015 Enveloping - Ripe - Tender Each Grand Vintage is unique, expressing Moët Chandon s Cellar Master s personal interpretation of the year. ON THE PALATE A direct and enveloping palate with floral, aniseed and mentholated nuances bringing lightness and freshness.The Grand Vintage is a pure expression of the year, blending classic varietals Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.

The champagne has a nice balance of acidity and sweetness, making it a wonderful choice for any occasion. During aeration the bouquet releases floral (elderflower, jasmine) and fruity (white peach, watermelon) fragrances. The 76th vintage in the history of the House, Grand Vintage 2015 is distinctive for its brilliance, tender bouquet and enveloping palate.

A mouthwatering bitterness of sloe and cranberry with notes of mint and aniseed refreshes the finish. In Champagne, 2015 was a year of tension, drama and uncertainty, switching abruptly between mild periods, icy spells and extreme heat. I think this would make for a fantastic gift or even as an award or something to give away it would make such an impression.This Moët is a good champagne obviously but I’m not sure most would choose it in a blind taste test. Grand Vintage 2015 – the maison's 76th vintage – is the result of an uncertain year marked by a period of dramatic heat, with the hottest temperatures the region has seen since 1961. This is a perfect champagne to toast to celebrations and certainly one for New Year's eve or even New Year's Day.
