Moët & Chandon Champagne RÉSERVE IMPÉRIALE Extra-Brut 12,5% Vol. 0,75l in Giftbox

Founded in 1743 by Claude Moët in Épernay, France, Moët & Chandon has become a leading name in the champagne market. Jean-Remy Moët, a descendant of the founder, acquired the former Hautvillers monastery in 1794, where the monk Dom Pérignon developed his pioneering champagne production techniques. This was a decisive step that further consolidated the quality and reputation of Moët & Chandon.

The association with historical figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte, a close friend of Jean-Remy Moët, helped to popularize the champagne on international campaigns and increased its popularity worldwide. Moët & Chandon always remained based in Épernay and became synonymous with high-quality champagne.

1987 marked another milestone when Moët Hennessy merged with Louis Vuitton to form the luxury goods group LVMH, now known worldwide for its exclusive products.

Moët & Chandon Réserve Impérial Brut, which was not available in Europe for a long time, is one of the most exclusive champagnes due to its rarity. This high-quality champagne is characterized by a significant proportion of reserve wines, which gives it a remarkable complexity and pronounced maturity. It consists of a carefully balanced blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Meunier. After the ageing phase, the champagne is bottled and sealed with a natural cork.

The Marquise de Pompadour once summed up the essence of champagne when she said: “Champagne is the only wine in the world that makes every woman beautiful.”

Tasting notes:

Clear golden yellow with a green shimmer in the glass. Even bead formation. Subtle aromas of peaches, nectarines and toast on the nose. These notes are reflected on the palate. Long finish with hints of lemon.

Serving temperature: 10-12 °C

An excellent accompaniment to seafood starters and fish dishes with light sauces.
