Tasting note
Well-made Champagne from a world-famous name: a succulent mouthful of pear, peach and a hint of gooseberry preceded by a delightful waft of brioche, nuts, green apple and citrus.
Viticulture
First created in 1869 the house style is that of bright fruitiness, elegance and maturity. Blended from over 100 different wines of which 20-30% are reserve wines to maintain this house style. 9g of residual sugar in the dosage.
Vinification
Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial blends Pinot Noir for intensity, Pinot Meunier for roundness, and Chardonnay for elegance. The house style is achieved through consistent blending and reserve wines (20-30%) for added depth and consistency. A 9g/L dosage adds balance before disgorgement.
Food Match
Fantastic with desserts that are not too sweet, such as tarts of filo pastry; also really good with lobster, shrimps and some delicate fish dishes such as oven-poached salmon steaks with mustard dill sauce.
