Rosé Impérial is a spontaneous, radiant, romantic expression of the Moët & Chandon style, a style distinguished by its bright fruitiness, its seductive palate and its elegant maturity.

In the glass, the wine has a glowing color: pink with amber highlights. On the nose it has a bewitching bouquet: A lively, intense bouquet of red fruits (wild strawberry, raspberry, cherry), floral nuances of rose, a slight hint of pepper. An expressive palate combinging intensity and suppleness: The juicy, persistent intensity of berries (strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant), the fleshiness and firmness of peach, the freshness of a subtle note of menthol.

Pairs well with meals featuring red meat, duck, goose, fresh game; cheeses such as fresh goat cheese, mozzarella, mascarpone with fresh, red-fleshed fruits. It contrasts elements of fresh & dried herbs, black olives, olive oil, red onions, pink peppercorns, Szechuan pepper, paprika.

Tasting Panel: 92 Points

"Lovely pink hue; fresh, fragrant, and smooth with notes of strawberry and apple; elegant and long."

James Suckling: 91 Points

"A complex and fresh nose with fresh berries, as well as berry pastry and biscuits. The palate has a fresh, crisp and lively feel with impressively upbeat berries. Drink now."

Wine & Spirits: 91 Points

"This blend is mostly Pinot Noir and Meunier, including 10 percent red wine for color. Chardonnay accounts for 10 to 20 percent, 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 Imperial. Best Buy"

Wine Spectator: 91 Points

"Delicate verbena and candied pink grapefruit zest accents lead to macerated blackberry, toasted nut and saline notes in this balanced and creamy rosé, with well-cut acidity."

Decanter: 91 Points

"Restrained red fruit nose. Long, rolling palate, fresh and crisp throughout, with abundant cranberry, sherbet lemon, green herb and ginger flavours."
