Moët & Chandon : Rosé Impérial

An aromatic and structured Brut Rosé champagne

The property

The Champagne Moët & Chandon House was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, a visionary wine merchant, who quickly made it a reference among European courts. A few years later, his grandson, Jean-Rémy Moët, developed the house's aura internationally.

Jean-Rémy Moët notably created the house's emblematic cuvée, the Moët Imperial, in honor of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who visited the estate several times and is said to have invented with his troops the gesture of sabering Moët & Chandon champagne bottles to celebrate a victory.

Owned by the LVMH group since 1987, the house produces, from a rigorous selection of Champagne terroirs, singular cuvées recognized beyond borders for their quality and seductive personality.

Blend

This rosé champagne signed Moët & Chandon is the result of a blend of pinot noir (40 to 50%), pinot meunier (30 to 40%) and chardonnay (10 to 20%). This Brut cuvée is dosed at 7 g/liter.
