About This Wine
Producer Notes
Moët Imperial is the House’s iconic Champagne. Created in 1869, it embodies the unique Moët & Chandon style. A style that distinguishes itself by its bright fruitiness, its seductive palate and its elegant maturity. Its assemblage reflects the diversity and complimentarity of the three grape varieties: the body of the Pinot Noir (45–50%), the suppleness of the Pinot Meunier (35–40%) and the finesse of the Chardonnay (10–20%). Dosage: 13 g/L A sparkling nose with the intensity of green apple and citrus fruit, the freshness of mineral nuances and white flowers, and the elegance of blond mature notes: brioche, cereals, fresh nuts. A palate combining generosity and subtlety with the delicious generosity of white fruits (pear, peach and apple), the alluring caress of fine bubbles and the soft vivacity of citrus fruit and gooseberry nuances.
Critical Acclaim
A harmonious Champagne, with well-knit, mouthwatering acidity, offering hints of bread dough and spun honey that enrich flavors of black cherry, salted almond and preserved lemon. Not a powerhouse, but this shows good focus while remaining fine and creamy in texture. The minerally finish shows hints of smoke and oyster shell. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Drink now.
This is showing aromas of apricots, grapefruit, pears and short crust. Some walnuts, too. Medium-bodied, with soft bubbles and tasty nut and pie crust notes at the end. Blend of pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay. 24 months on the lees. Tasted from a magnum bottle. Drink now.
A thread of minerally smoke, oyster shell and saline drives this refreshing Champagne, underscoring flavors of poached apricot, tangy blackberry, lemon curd and gingerbread as they ride the refined mousse. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Drink now.
Well balanced, this Champagne, even with its enormous production, remains a benchmark and is always enjoyable. In this bottling, ripe white fruit is cut with citrus, with an edge of toastiness that gives complexity. Drink now.
Based on the challenging 2017 vintage, the current release of Moët & Chandon’s NV Brut Imperial was disgorged with seven grams dosage (representing a reduction of around 50% in the last 20 years) and contains an unusually high proportion of reserve wines. Offering up aromas of pear, peach and citrus oil mingled with hints of fresh bread and white flowers, it’s medium to full-bodied, ample and pillowy, with racy acids and an enveloping core of fruit, complemented by a pinpoint mousse and concluding with a nicely defined finish. Impressively seamless, it’s a fine rendition of one of Champagne’s largest bottlings.
