Vintage Champagne 2016: tradition and refinement

For several decades, the great champagne houses have maintained their commitment to capturing the essence of a unique year. The 2016 vintage stands out for its contrasting weather conditions, with late frost followed by summer heat, producing powerful, structured wines with plenty of acidity. Houses such as Ernest Remy, Moët et Chandon, Louis Roederer and Fleury are perpetuating their century-old expertise to offer cuvées that bear witness to this changing terroir.
