"Grand Vintage 2016 sums up the year's strong suits very neatly – beautiful ripeness without heaviness, compact build and fine ageworthiness. It's a characteristically clean-cut, snappy vintage from Moët, with aromas of fresh baguette, satsuma, sweet red apple and strawberry, all framed with the toasty sourdough aromas typical of the house. There's some concentration and vinosity lurking here, even with the house's delicate style and pinpoint, meringue-soft mousse. This seems destined to be one of the top Moët vintages of late." |

"Lovely salinity to this Champagne, which has notes of Asian pears, aniseed, preserved lemons, chalk and biscuits. It’s mineral and seamless, with transparency and brightness. Fine bubbles. 48% chardonnay, 34% pinot noir and 18% meunier. 5g/L dosage. Disgorged March 2023. Drink now or hold." |
