Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut NV
The World's Best-Selling Champagne, Generous, Accessible, and Unmistakably Moët
My Wine Man on Moët & Chandon
Moët & Chandon is the most recognised Champagne house in the world, and for good reason. Founded in 1743 in Épernay, Moët has been at the centre of Champagne's history for nearly 300 years: the house of Napoleon Bonaparte, who reportedly consumed it by the case before battle; the house that built the grand Avenue de Champagne in Épernay; and the house whose cellars, stretching 28 kilometres beneath the city, are among the most extraordinary in the world. Today part of the LVMH luxury group, Moët & Chandon produces more Champagne than any other house, yet the Brut Impérial remains a wine of genuine quality and consistency. The house style is built on Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier: generous, fruit-forward, and immediately appealing.
Tasting Notes
Bright golden yellow with fine, persistent bubbles. Fresh and immediately inviting, green apple, pear, and white peach lead, with notes of brioche, white flowers, and a subtle mineral lift. On the palate, medium-bodied with a creamy mousse and the generous, fruit-forward character that is Moët's signature. Green apple, pear, and citrus build through to a fresh, clean finish with a hint of brioche warmth. Balanced, polished, and completely crowd-pleasing.
Style & Drinking Window
Medium-bodied with a creamy mousse, fresh natural acidity, and the generous, fruit-forward character that is Moët's signature. Drinking beautifully now, best enjoyed fresh and well-chilled. Serve at 8-10°C in a quality Champagne flute or white wine glass.
Food Pairing
The fruit-forward generosity and fresh brioche character of the Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial make it a wonderful match for Australian Bone-In Butterflied Chicken in Sweet Garlic & Herb Marinade from My Meat Man. The wine's creamy mousse and crowd-pleasing character complement the aromatic sweet garlic and herb marinade beautifully, whether grilled flat on the barbecue, roasted in the oven for crispy golden skin, or pan-seared with a touch of Champagne in the deglaze.
