The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A flagship of the Champagne region founded in Épernay in 1743, Moët & Chandon is now the world’s largest producer of Champagne, best known for its iconic best-seller, Brut Impérial.

Backed by carefully selected grapes and state-of-the-art winemaking techniques led by the talented cellar master Benoît Gouez, the House continues to captivate wine lovers worldwide with creamy wines that deliver precise aromatic clarity, featuring universally appealing toasted and citrus notes. An institution that has reached the pinnacle of quality through its essential cuvées—wines to discover and enjoy above all else.
Wine Driven by particularly flavorful Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes from this harvest, the 2016 Champagne Grand Vintage Rosé marks yet another success—the 48th rosé vintage since the House’s founding in 1743. This is an intensely fruity Champagne, bursting with raspberry, ripe dark berry, and delicate floral aromas.

Classic Moët spicy and toasted nuances gently emerge, seamlessly integrated into soft, fine bubbles. Elegant, refined, and precise, this Champagne offers a wonderfully smooth, satisfying experience. Aged for six years in the cellars and finished with an extra-brut dosage (5g/l), it delivers a truly memorable tasting moment.
Vinification Hand harvested, aged for 6 years in the cellar and aged for at least 6 months after disgorging. Dosage: 5g/l.
