Moët & Chandon Description

Moët & Chandon is the champagne of success and glamour since 1743. Renowned for its achievements and legendary pioneering spirit, Moët & Chandon is synonymous with both cherished traditions and modern pleasures and has helped celebrate life’s most triumphant moments for more than 270 years.

Toward the end of the 18th century, Jean-Remy Moët, grandson of founder Claude Moët, became famous as the man who introduced champagne to the world. The important figures of the era, from the Marquise de Pompadour to Napoleon, quickly fell in love with the House’s effervescent wine. Moët & Chandon was soon the icon of success and elegance that it remains to this day.

Moët Impérial Brut 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, seductive palate, and elegant maturity.

Wine Spectator: 91 Points

Wine & Spirits: 91 Points

"This blend is mostly Pinot Noir and Meunier, including 10% red wine for color. Chardonnay accounts for 10% to 20%, including a portion of reserve wines that may be providing the oceanic, oyster-shell notes that bring to mind Champagne’s Kimmeridgean limestone. This is broad and loose up front, with fruity scents of orange and pomegranate. Then the wine keeps buzzing with brisk acidity, tightening up and extending the flavors with energy. An impressive release of Impérial"
