Founded in 1743 by Claude Moët in Épernay, France, Moët & Chandon has become a leading name in the champagne market. Jean-Remy Moët, a descendant of the founder, acquired the former Hautvillers monastery in 1794, where the monk Dom Pérignon developed his pioneering champagne production techniques. This was a decisive step that further consolidated the quality and reputation of Moët & Chandon.
The association with historical figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte, a close friend of Jean-Remy Moët, helped to popularize the champagne on international campaigns and increased its popularity worldwide. Moët & Chandon always remained based in Épernay and became synonymous with high-quality champagne.
1987 marked another milestone when Moët Hennessy merged with Louis Vuitton to form the luxury goods group LVMH, now known worldwide for its exclusive products.
Moët & Chandon Champagne IMPÉRIAL Brut, composed of the Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier grape varieties, is carefully protected from oxidation during its production. This serves to preserve the original fruitiness of the grapes. Malolactic fermentation is also used to reduce the acidity of the grapes. Long maturation on the lees promotes the development of a fine perlage, while a lower brut dosage in comparison emphasizes the fruity character of the champagne. In addition, the champagne is matured for an average of twice as long as required by law. After this, the champagne is bottled and sealed with a natural cork.

Tasting notes:
Clear golden yellow with a green shimmer in the glass. Even bead formation. Subtle aromas of green apples, roasted cashews and vanilla on the nose. Sparkling on the palate, with aromas of white peach, pears and apples. These are joined by citrus fruits and gooseberries. Long-lasting and full-bodied on the finish.
Residual sugar: 7 g/l
Serving temperature: 8-10 °C
Moët Impérial is an excellent accompaniment to seafood starters and lightly sauced fish dishes. The fruity aromas of the champagne harmonize particularly well with desserts such as a white peach tart or poached baked apples, allowing the flavours of both dishes to come into their own.
