Moët Impérial is the flagship Champagne of Moët & Chandon in Épernay, first created in 1869, here presented in the house's end-of-year gift box and bottled at 12% ABV.
It is a non-vintage blend of more than 100 different wines, with 20 to 30% reserve wines to keep the house style consistent. The grapes are all three Champagne varieties: 30 to 40% Pinot Noir, 30 to 40% Pinot Meunier and 20 to 30% Chardonnay.
The Pinot Noir gives structure, the Meunier suppleness and the Chardonnay elegance, for a bright, fruity Champagne with green apple, citrus and white flowers, brioche and fresh nuts, and a generous, lively palate.
One of the world's most recognised Champagnes, gift boxed and ready to give.
Moët & Chandon was founded in 1743, and Moët Impérial has been the house's signature wine for more than 150 years, poured at celebrations around the world. Its fresh, approachable style makes it an easy choice for toasts, weddings and holiday gatherings, and the gift box means it is ready to hand over without any extra wrapping. Keep it lying down somewhere cool and dark, and chill it for a few hours before opening.
Champagne can only come from the Champagne region of north-eastern France, and it gains its bubbles from a second fermentation in the bottle, the traditional method. Non-vintage cuvées are blended from several harvests so that each house can keep its signature style consistent from year to year, and they rest on their lees for at least fifteen months before release.
