Product Detail

Each Grand Vintage is unique, expressing the Moët & Chandon Cellar Master's personal interpretation of the year. In Champagne, 2006 was a year of extreme conditions, from frost to drought, resulting in a heterogeneous harvest.

Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Collection 2006 captures the intensity of a year of extremes, the succulent expression of the dazzling midday sun. This 71st vintage in the history of the House brings another chapter in the story of Moët & Chandon's illustrious years.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE - Smoky nose with roasted aromas • Restrained ripeness well-developed with dry, toasted and smoky notes • Initial aromas of flint and pepper remain • The original juicy, yellow fruits like peach and mango, become deeper and candied, reminiscent of dates or figs

PALATE - Long, full-bodied palate • The attack is generous and supple as the champagne unfolds • The prolonged aging on the lees has imparted length • Finish lingering on the concentrated, deliciously bitter sensation of candied lemon

An extensive, full-bodied palate

The attack is generous and supple as the Champagne unfolds. The prolonged ageing on lees has imparted length, and the finish lingers with the concentrated, deliciously bitter sensation of candied lemon.
