Details
Described as a blooming, vinous and warm expression of the Moët & Chandon style – distinguished by a bright fruitiness, seductive palate and elegant maturity – this new release Réserve Impériale is a refined blend.
The ultra-smooth and velvety release differs from Moët’s standard Impérial in two ways. First, it's pinot-led for a richer structure and red fruit character. Second, it's matured for an additional six to 12 months, enriching its toastiness and increasing depth while retaining Moët & Chandon's signature fruit-forward style.

TASTING NOTES:
Enticing with a structured palate

Appearance

Golden straw yellow with green highlights.

Aroma

On the nose, a burst of sun-ripened yellow summer fruit (think apricot and peach) merges with the sweet nuances of cashews, toasted hazelnuts and gingerbread, and a note of fresh citrus.

Taste

Combining the succulence of juicy pear, peach and apricot with the vinous density of stone fruit such as plum and cherry, the palate also includes a deliciously spiced hint of cinnamon refreshed by a touch of citrus.

BLEND & ORIGIN CHAMPAGNE

BLEND AND ORIGIN:
Moët & Chandon Réserve Impériale

Moët & Chandon Réserve Impériale is a sophisticated, pinot-led blend.
 

It's assembled from a trio of grape varieties: pinot noir (40-50%) for body, meunier (20-30%) for suppleness, and chardonnay (20-30%) for finesse.
 

Of the final assemblage, 20-30% is specially selected from reserve wines (one to three years old) to enhance the champagne's maturity, complexity and constancy.
 

Following stainless steel fermentation to protect against oxidation and preserve the original fruitiness, it then spent a little longer on the lees than the standard Impérial Brut, resulting in a fine bead and velvety texture.
