ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Brut Imperial is a fascinating and very famous name in Champagne, one of the iconic labels of the Moët & Chandon maison, which has been producing it continuously since 1869. Its rich, fruity and consistent FLAVOR PROFILE, which has established it as a very famous and beloved Champagne all over the world, is well summarized by the maison with the three adjectives: vibrant, generous and captivating. These great qualities, combined with the allure of its long and important history, make it an absolute certainty in the world of French bubbly.
Moët & Chandon's Champagne "Imperial" comes from a cuvée of more than 100 wines from vineyards located in more than 150 villages. The blending, conducted with absolute mastery by chef de cave Benoit Gouez, involves the use of at least 20 percent reserve wines and includes, in equal measure, the three typical local GRAPE varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. The 36-month aging on sui lieviti in the bottle allows the achievement of a complex and fascinating aromatic maturity, all played on fruity, mineral and slightly toasted tones. The sugar dosage of about 9 g/l enriches it with soft and pleasantly sweet nuances that help set up an unparalleled pleasantness.
