Champagne Moet & Chandon Rose´ Imperial
This international brand was founded by wine trader Claude Moet in 1743 and has evolved into the world’s largest premium Champagne producer sourcing fruit from nearly 3,000 estate vineyards. Part of the LVMH luxury portfolio, winemaking is under the guidance of Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez, who pursues consistency and perfection.
This Champagne is composed of 40-50% Pinot Noir, 30-40% Pinot Meunier, and 10-20% Chardonnay. In the glass, the wine presents a delicate salmon-pink hue as you are immediately met with an alluring bouquet of rose petals and a whisper of hazelnut. The fruit forward flavor profile offers a bounty of fresh summer fruits with wild strawberries, red currants and Morello cherries that unfold with exuberance. There is a fine layer of chalk in the core with a backbone of delicate acidity that uplifts the fruit carrying you to a clean finish.
