    Luxuriously rich, this release of Impérial provided the best showing for Moët’s non-vintage wines in our tastings. It gives the impression of being all about red fruit, along with brisk oystershell salinity and limestone abrasion. There’s an herbal note, like lemon verbena, adding to the wine’s lively feel. Our tasters wanted it with caviar or salt-and-pepper crab.

    With origins dating back to 1869, this wine is exceedingly refreshing, clean, and balanced. A charming, generous expression that’s equal parts long, lush, and crisp.

  • 91

    This is showing aromas of apricots, grapefruit, pears and short crust. Some walnuts, too. Medium-bodied, with soft bubbles and tasty nut and pie crust notes at the end. Blend of pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay. 24 months on the lees. Tasted from a magnum bottle.

    A golden straw appearance, the NV Champagne Imperial Brut is creamy and decadent with aromas of crème brûlée, candied citrus, and baked golden apple. Juicy and ripe, it fills the palate with sweet fruit of pear compote and quince and reveals a supple texture as well as a fluffy mousse. Quaffable, with a touch of fruity sweetness lasting on the finish, it’s prime for drinking over the next few years as an aperitif.

    A hint of smoke wafts through flavors of black currant, lemon-infused pastry cream and crystallized honey in this fresh, well-meshed Champagne, with a touch of Mandarin orange peel and a fine mousse. Drink now.

Learn about Moet & Chandon: its history, the brand and it's iconic Moet Imperial Brut Champagne.

History of Moet & Chandon

Moet & Chandon was founded as Moet et Cie in 1743 by Claude Moet. At the end of the 18th century, Claude's grandson Jean-Remy Moet took over the business and introduced Champagne and the Moet brand to the rest of the world. It wasn't until 1833, when Jean-Remy’s son-in-law, Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, joined the business that the House was renamed Moet & Chandon.

The Moet & Chandon Brand

Since its founding, Moet & Chandon has been the Champagne of success and glamour. The important figures of the era, from the Marquise de Pompadour to Napoleon, quickly fell in love with the House’s effervescent wine. Renowned for its achievements and legendary pioneering spirit, Moet & Chandon is synonymous with both cherished traditions and modern pleasures and has helped celebrate life’s most triumphant moments for more than 270 years.


Moet Imperial Brut

Moet Imperial Brut is the House's iconic champagne bottle. Created in 1869, it embodies the unique Moet & Chandon style; a style that distinguishes itself by its bright fruitiness, seductive palate, and elegant maturity.
