Food Pairings

What to Expect

The 2016 Millésime is rich, elegant and wonderfully layered. Aromas of buttered brioche, toasted pastry and baked apple unfold alongside hints of citrus zest and delicate almond. The palate is creamy yet vibrant, balancing generous fruit with refreshing acidity and a subtle mineral backbone. Fine, persistent bubbles lead into a long, refined finish that lingers beautifully. Produced only in outstanding vintages, the Gruet Millésime 2016 is a blend of the house's finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir parcels from the Côte des Bar. Following traditional vinification, the wine spends extended time ageing on lees in the cellar, allowing exceptional depth, texture and complexity to develop. Finished with a restrained dosage of just 3g/L, the wine retains remarkable freshness while beautifully expressing the character of the 2016 vintage.
