Moët & Chandon Champagne Brut Impérial Rosé

Bettane & Desseauve

About the domain :

Under the impetus of its brilliant cellar master Benoît Gouez, Moët has progressed without renouncing its fundamentals: fruitiness, balance, fair accessibility, captivating ageing potential, with a fresh style in search of precision. The cuvées are free of dosage, in harmony with advances in viticulture and cutting-edge technical research. The wines take on an extra dimension. The house's spearheads, Impérial and Rosé-Impérial, are champagnes of impressive aromatic precision and finesse. The blends are meticulous. The vintages display a distinctive stylistic imprint, like the latest 2013, a remarkably successful atypical vintage. The "grande maison" is in fine form.

About the domain :

One of the oldest Champagne houses, founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, a vineyard owner. In the early 19th century, his grandson Jean-Rémy, with the help of his son-in-law Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, gave the company an international dimension. Their heirs continued the success of the brand, which has become the best-known and best-selling in the world. Today, Moët et Chandon, with 1,190 ha of vines in 234 crus (50% of which are grand cru) and 28 km of cellars, continues its expansion within the powerful LVMH group. Its ambitions were realized in 2012 with the inauguration of a vast contemporary-style winery on the Mont Aigu site in Oiry, at the foot of the Côte des Blancs, in addition to its historic facilities in Épernay. Benoît Gouez has been cellar master since 2005.

About the domain :

LVMH is the most powerful player in the Champagne region, both in terms of the size of its vineyards (around 1,200 hectares, only a quarter of its needs!) and the distribution of its brands (Moët, Veuve Clicquot, Ruinart, Krug, Mercier). Within this galaxy, Moët is the world's best-selling champagne, with its flagship brut Impérial accounting for 85% of production. Under the leadership of excellent cellar master Benoît Gouez, Moët is impressively consistent in terms of volumes produced. These creamy wines, with their toasty, lemony notes, reassure consumers the world over. Alongside the Brut Impérial, Moët delivers Grand Vintage wines that gain in definition and depth vintage after vintage.

About the wine:

With lots of strawberries, this wine has a very fresh, exuberant nose that shows assertive fruit characters. On the palate, it has a smooth, very even and balanced texture. Made to be consumed immediately and always as smooth as ever. The balance is very seductive. Drink now.

About the wine:

Electric pink in color, Champagne Imperial Brut Rosé NV is initially a little reserved on the aromatic front, opening with juicy aromas of apricot, pressed flowers and fresh berries. Floating and welcoming, it features a primary palate of ripe red fruit and a clean, supple finish. Easy to drink and full of fruit, it is marked by notes of late-summer fruit without being overpowering on the finish. Drink now or over the next few years.
