Remember when this time of year felt magical? As we get older, the holidays seem to come and go in a blur of shopping trips and ingredient lists. That's why we're setting out to make this season more memorable — and a Moët moment is the perfect way to mark an occasion and make it sparkle.
Moët & Chandon's iconic Brut Impérial champagne is an aspirational choice to serve with the right company or gift to someone special during those moments that are meant to be shared and savoured. It's a bottle that's met with brightened eyes and widened smiles when it's pulled out of a gift bag or poured at a perfect 8–10 C.
In the glass, Brut Impérial radiates an elegant golden-yellow with green highlights and fine bubbles. A bouquet of green apple, citrus, white flowers, mineral nuances, brioche, cereals and fresh nuts invites you in. Then, white-fleshed fruits like pear, peach and apple mingle with hints of citrus and gooseberry in the delicate mouthfeel.
It's this aromatic profile and balanced, versatile palate that allow Brut Impérial to light up a room on its own or pair exceptionally well with a range of dishes. It sings in harmony with briny oysters glistening on ice, delicate sushi and sashimi platters, and any fresh preparations that highlight deliciously saline ingredients, juicy citrus or aromatic herbs.
During the holidays, or any special occasion, it's not just about what you're serving, but how you serve it. Thoughtful presentation, gracious hosting and well-considered pairings set the stage for this champagne to shine, and make for a more memorable, celebratory experience.
The Maison recommends building pairings around three elements: a main ingredient, a complementary ingredient that echoes the champagne's profile, and a contrasting element. Freshness, salinity and texture are central to this approach.
Defined by timeless craftsmanship, Brut Impérial was first created in 1869. Just like your celebrations, Moët & Chandon's signature cuvée evolves each year, expressing the diversity of Champagne's terroirs, grape varieties and harvests with a blend that features different proportions of pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay from up to 150 base wines.
A brut dosage, the addition of only 7 grams per litre of sugar, contributes to the signature cuvée's final balance and reflects the deep care that goes into its creation. While the composition changes each year, the quality, profile and unmistakable aromatics remain consistent through the expert blending techniques that have made this champagne a legend over its storied history.
The champagne of celebration, Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial is a pour that will linger long after the last sip of your special occasion.
