Moët & Chandon Impérial Ice (NV)
750mL / Champagne / France
Moet Ice Impérial was specifically developed by Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez to be served on ice. The wine’s exceptional balance reaches its fullest expression when meeting the ice to reveal intense fruitiness, richness and freshness for a pure moment of summertime pleasure.
Bringing its legendary touch of glamour and success to Summer 2012, Moët & Chandon presents Moët Ice Impérial, the new must-have champagne for daytime gatherings in exclusive destinations. The world’s first-ever champagne specifically created to be enjoyed on ice, Moët Ice Impérial is a refreshing take on summer style. “Moët Ice Impérial is a radically new way to drink champagne, and with a single sip, whisks you away to its warm and sunny world,” said Arnaud de Saignes, International Director of Marketing and Communications for Moët & Chandon. “Whether enjoyed on ice by the beach with friends or experienced online, Moët Ice Impérial is itself a luxurious destination.”
The profiles of the wines used in the assemblage have been meticulously selected for the specific contribution made by each one:
Pinot Noir (40-50%), winey and angular, for its intense fruitiness as well as for its structure, which integrates the dosage.
Pinot Meunier (30-40%), full and fleshy, for a rich, melting sensation on the mid-palate.
Chardonnay (10-20%) for a refreshing finish.
Approx 20 to 30% specially selected reserve wines enhance the assemblage to complete its intensity, richness and constancy
Tasting Notes:
A dense colour of deep gold with amber highlights.
The powerful aroma of tropical fruits (mango, guava) and sumptuousness of stonefruits (nectarine) combined with an original note of raspberry.
The palate is generous combining roundness and freshness - the broad, fleshy, voluptuous flavour of a fresh fruit salad, the captivating sweetness of caramel & quince jelly and the refreshing acidity of grapefruit and ginger notes.
