Description
NV Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial Tasting Notes:
Moët & Chandon is made up of a blend consisting of pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay grape varieties from the Champagne region in France. It’s light and fresh tasting and with age it will take on a more ‘toasted’ flavour. This is a very approachable Champagne being smooth, creamy and fruity. Straw/gold colour with with a greenish tinge and a fine mousse; forward floral, mineral, toasty, brioche, and yeasty aromas; dry with citrus, delicate bread dough and apple flavours; light creamy mouthfeel with crisp citrus acidity and a clean finish.

WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 91
WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Well-balanced, exhibiting flavors of light toast, Gala apple, honey and ginger, with smoke and mineral notes underscoring hints of tropical pineapple and tangerine fruit. There’s lovely texture, with a firm backbone of juicy acidity

Aromas of citrus, flowers, hazlenut and smoke. On the palate a lighter more delicate style of champagne. Quite minerally/chalky with citrus and soda water flavours. Not sweet either. Fine persistent bead. Well balanced with nothing out of place. Dry minerally finish. Very easy to drink. An excellent standing up champagne.
