Details
Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial
A staple from Maison Moët & Chandon, Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial is made from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes sourced from a myriad of vineyards.
This well-known Non-Vintage Champagne is produced combining over 100 different wines from several vintages, approximately one third of which are aged Cuvées.
Traditionally vinified following the Champenoise method, the grapes underwent both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Once the final blend was made, the champagne Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial was bottled and aged for 3 to 4 years before hitting the market.
It is not by chance that this is the best-known and best-selling Champagne in the world.
Roughly 20 milion bottles of this Champagne Brut are sold every year.
