Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. To achieve complexity and consistency, the House integrates 20–30 % reserve wines drawn from older vintages. The collaboration does not alter the cuvée itself the liquid within remains the same classic to which connoisseurs are accustomed but the bottle design turns each purchase into a statement piece.In short: the Gold edition is as much about presentation and storytelling as it is about the champagne within.
Serving & Pairing
Serve chilled between 8 °C and 10 °C to best appreciate its aromatic lift. The effervescence is lively yet refined, lending itself to moments of both celebration and contemplation. It pairs superbly with oysters, caviar, delicate shellfish, smoked salmon or even lightly cured charcuterie. It also shines on its own as an aperitif.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh and expressive, with bright green apple, white peach, citrus blossom, subtle brioche, almond and gentle mineral nuances.
Palate: Balanced, with orchard fruit (pear, apple, peach), crisp citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and soft brioche undertones. The mousse is delicate and persistent, supporting a refined texture.
Finish: Elegant and clean, with lingering notes of toasted almond, flaky pastry and a faint saline edge.
