Moet & Chandon Imperial Brut (without box) (750ml)

Country/ Region:
Champagne, France

Background:
Moet & Chandon Imperial Brut is a non-vintage, iconic Champagne created in 1869. It is a classic blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, distinguished by its bright fruitiness, elegant maturity, and seductive palate.

Winemaking:
The Champagne is crafted through a meticulous traditional process: hand‑harvested grapes are pressed into base wines, blended with reserve wines to define the house style, and undergo a second fermentation in bottle to form its fine bubbles, followed by 24 months of lees aging for depth and brioche‑like richness.

Grapes: 35% Pinot Noir, 35% Pinot Meunier & 30% Chardonnay

Tasting note:
This minerally Champagne is clean-cut and spicy. A fine aperitif, with a lacy texture, lightly juicy acidity and well-knit flavors of poached pear, pickled ginger, currant and lemon curd. Creamy finish.

Food Pairing:
Its crisp acidity and orchard fruit notes cut through rich foods and elevate the flavors of the sea. For example, oysters, sushi, sashimi, pan-seared scallops, and steamed prawns
