Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut Champagne 75cl, Gift Box

Product Information

During this process, the wine mixes with a sugar and yeast solution, also known as liqueur de triage, is bottled, capped with a soda bottle cap, and left to begin the secondary fermentation and aging. As the yeast consumes the sugars, carbon dioxide (i.e., bubbles) forms and stays in the bottle. The sparkler then ages for several months to several years.

Moet & Chandon was founded as Moet et Cie in 1743 by Claude Moet.At the end of the 18 th century, Claude's grandson Jean-Remy Moet took over the business and introduced Champagne and the Moet brand to the rest of the world.It wasn't until 1833, when Jean-Remy’s son-in-law, Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, joined the business that the House was renamed Moet & Chandon.Moet Imperial Brut is the House's iconic champagne bottle. Created in 1869, it embodies the unique Moet & Chandon style; a style that distinguishes itself by its bright fruitiness, seductive palate, and elegant maturity. Meanwhile, the cork never full regained its shape suggesting that it had been bottled for some time. However, it was in good condition with no visible damage. Although an expensive choice, it can even be enjoyed among friends provided that you really love them! That said, make sure that you know your audience whatever the occasion. A champagne that’s too prestigious may be seen as pompous or an attempt at showing off.

Whilst the nose often acts as a precursor to the tasted aromas, Moët & Chandon’s experience offered something different in each case. Opening with a burst of sharp cranberries, there were the green apples first detected in the nose as well as some spicy ginger. Alternatively, it is also an ideal and versatile apéritif wine that will go well with a number of different side dishes such as scampi or tapenade. Given the tobacco note, it goes remarkably well with cigarettes or cigars including stronger Maduro wrappers. Moët & Chandon is a prestigious and grandiose but there are other low-key, lesser known big brands, which are excellent alternatives. Closing ThoughtsPouring a glass of Impérial Brut will reveal a mid-gold and mildly transparent robe. Although it is mostly clear, the liquid seems velvety and somewhat syrupy. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but should be interesting to try. Finally, the ideal serving temperature is around 10°C (50°F) but can be cooled down to 8°C (46.4°F) for those that prefer it fresh. When Should You Drink Moët & Chandon? Despite its high percentage of pinot noir, Impérial Brut is a surprisingly subdued and understated Champagne. Although it features a rich character and complex notes, it’s not as powerful or as intense as was expected.
