Description
Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut Champagne
With a history which dates back to 1743 (when it was known as Moët et Cie), Moët & Chandon (officially Moët et Chandon) are known as one of the great champagne houses, and are also one of the largest producers of champagne in the world.
Fun fact: The T at the end of Moët is pronounced (Mo-et), as the founder was French-born but had a surname of Dutch origin!
They own 1,190 hectares (or 2,900 acres) of vineyards, from which they produce approximately 28 Million bottles of champagne annually.
This, their Imperial Brut was first introduced in 1869, and is their best-selling brand. It is made from a blend of over 100 different wines - of these, 20 - 30% are reserve wines which are specially selected to enhance the maturity, complexity and constancy of the finished champagne.
Between 30 and 40% are Pinot Noir, giving body. 30 - 40% are Pinot Meunier which adds suppleness, and 20 - 30% if chardonnay - giving finesse.
The resulting champagne is an elegant golden straw colour, with almost green highlights.
The aroma is vibrant, and full of both green apple and citrus fruits. A touch of white flowers leads into an enticing brioche, cereal and fresh nuts bouquet.
The palate brings sumptuous notes of pears, apples and peaches. The bubbles almost caress the tastebuds, and open up lively citrus fuits and hints of gooseberry.
