This century, Moët & Chandon produces a range of more than beautiful vintages under the name Grand Vintage. To unpack a few: the Grand Vintage 2002, 2006, 2008 and 2009 are all gems. Yes are – and have not been – because they are still rock solid. That is the great quality of a vintage Champagne, or as the French say, of a millesime. Now there is the Grand Vintage 2015. Another whopper. It can compete with the already legendary 2002, 2012 and 2013. The great quality also has to do with the great craftsmanship of Benoît Gouez, genius chef de cave, responsible for the Champagnes of Moët & Chandon.
