Initial notes of breadcrumbs, fresh brioche and almond paste give way to elderflower and jasmine, then to fruit such as white peach and watermelon on the nose. Generous, ample and supple in structure, reminiscent of the cotton flower. Floral, aniseed and mentholated nuances bring lightness and freshness. The finish lingers on a delicate bitterness evoking fresh almonds.
Blend: 44% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay, 24% Meunier

Wine Spectator
A firm, focused Champagne, with a pleasing crunchiness to the fine mousse. Reveals a toasty edge, with notes of smoke, brioche and vanilla showing up front, before transitioning to underscore and enrich flavors of nectarine and plum fruit, salted almond, lemon curd and anise as they expand through the creamy finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Disgorged February 2022.

The 2015 Extra-Brut Grand Vintage is a terrific choice for drinking now, as it is so expressive. Baked apple tart, spice, lemon confit, marzipan and a hint of toastiness are front and center. Open-knit and engaging, the 2015 is a Champagne of pure and total pleasure.

Produced from 44% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay, and the rest Meunier, the 2015 Champagne Grand Vintage Extra Brut pours a medium golden-straw hue and is opulent on opening with toasty aromas of baked bread, spiced orange peel, marzipan, and dried peach. Full-bodied, with a pillowy mouthfeel, it has a very nice balance of ripe fruit while retaining freshness Silky textured, its notes of citrus oils and orchard fruits last through the finish. This elegant and warming wine would do fantastically well moving into these cooler fall and winter months.

Biscuits, hazelnuts, peaches and baked apples on the nose. Some caramel. Medium-bodied with a broad mousse. Textured, with a dry honeycomb character. 44% pinot noir, 32% chardonnay and 24% meunier.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 44% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay and 24% Pinot Meunier, the Moët & Chandon 2015 Extra Brut Grand Vintage was bottled with a dosage of five grams per liter after six years in the cellars. With notes of marzipan, pastry, lemon confit, pear and peach, the bouquet is charming and fresh. Nervy tension animates its fine, crystalline palate. After some time in the glass, it evolves toward smoke, struck flint and vanilla notes. An elegant Champagne, now at its peak, but which could be kept for another five years.
