Presented in a gift box, it is an exceptional gift that celebrates the French art of living with elegance.
Description
In the calm of a 2016 vintage that followed climatic caprice, the Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé 2016 expresses itself like a delicately orchestrated musical piece. This Champagne AOC reveals a vision of a characterful rosé where freshness meets depth, held in a controlled tension and contained sensuality. Its Extra Brut stance, of rare precision, emphasises the purity of the fruit and the wine's architecture. The rosé colour, moderately intense, is edged with bluish highlights that catch the light with an almost painterly grace. On the nose, the house unfolds a bouquet of syruped red fruits, with strawberries and crushed raspberries, lifted by blueberries, interlaced with scents of rose, hibiscus and violet. On the palate, the softness of a supple texture blossoms around fresh fruit, notably ripe raspberry, before soaring to an airy finish, slightly astringent, which extends the tasting in a halo of finesse. This is a vintage rosé for receptions, the table and conversation, ready to elevate a refined meal or enhance a precious moment, while offering the possibility of harmonious cellaring.
Blend and vinification
A faithful expression of the Grand Vintage style, this cuvée is built on a measured blend where each grape variety brings its own voice. It combines 43% Pinot Noir, including 13% red wine that shapes the colour and the spicy thread of the rosé, with 42% Chardonnay for uprightness and length, and 15% Meunier for fruity softness and roundness. The dosage, Extra Brut at 5 g/L, refines the silhouette and highlights the brightness of the aromas without masking the precision of the vintage. The wine underwent a 6 years' ageing in the cellar, allowing the lees to sculpt the texture and complexify the bouquet, followed by a six-month rest after disgorgement to polish the whole. The result is a clear structure, a silky mouthfeel and restrained freshness that sign the balance of a great gastronomic rosé. The serene 2016 vintage favoured just ripeness and a nuanced aromatic profile, which the house enhances through couture winemaking.
Tasting notes
- Colour : Moderately intense pink with bluish highlights, clear and bright, animated by a fine effervescence that draws regular, delicate streams of bubbles on the glass.
- Nose : Opens on syruped red fruits with strawberries and crushed raspberries, lifted by blueberries. A floral thread of rose, hibiscus and violet, set within notes of gingerbread and a touch of chocolate that brings depth and warmth.
- Palate : Tender and supple attack, with pure fruit dominated by ripe raspberry. The texture stretches over a fresh frame, then launches into an airy finish, finely astringent, which structures and extends the sapidity without heaviness.
Serving temperature and tips
Serve this cuvée well chilled in tulip glasses to concentrate the aromas and allow the delicate floral notes to unfold. Allow a few moments of airing, so the mousse settles and the texture gains in silkiness. This bottle, ready to be enjoyed today, can also be kept in the cellar under good cool and quiet conditions to let its spicy and chocolate nuances evolve. Serving it in an ice bucket, without thermal shock, preserves the wine's integrity and showcases the effervescence.
Food pairings
- Aperitifs : tomato confit and basil tartlets, tuna tataki, thinly sliced Parma ham.
- Starters : langoustine carpaccio, beetroot salad with fresh raspberries, fresh herb goat cheese.
- Main courses : roasted free-range poultry with pink peppercorns, seared veal fillet, lightly cooked salmon with dill.
- Cheeses : matured tomme, young comté, thin slice of truffle brie to underscore the gentle spices.
- Desserts : lightly sweetened strawberries, red fruit pavlova, cocoa biscuit with light cream.
