Champagne Extra Brut 'Reserve Imperiale' Magnum Moët & Chandon

The “Reserve Imperiale” by Moet & Chandon is a rich and intense Champagne that lends itself to a wide variety of food pairings. Its personality is succinctly captured by the prestigious house that produces it: “juicy, warm, and vinous.” Compared to the more famous and widespread Extra Brut Imperial, this reserve is made from a higher percentage of Pinot Noir grapes, which gives it energy, structure, and vigor. The enveloping, soft, rich, and fruity profile contributes to defining its high gastronomic vocation allowing pairing with flavorful dishes based on fish, smoked fish appetizers, white meats, and mushrooms.

The Champagne Extra Brut “Reserve Imperiale” presents itself in a deep golden color, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet includes both fresh and fruity varietal notes, dominated by ripe yellow fruit, as well as broader and rounder aromas of toasted nuts, sweet spices, and candied citrus. Peaches, apricots, dates, and dried fruit delicately complete the olfactory picture. The entry on the palate is soft, warm, and enveloping,supported by winey nuances and a good freshness. The persistence is long and harmonious, pleasant and delightful. From this impeccable harmony, made of elegance, dynamism, and delicacy, the style of the maison and the signature of chef de cave Benoit Gouez, one of the most renowned and talented winemakers of Champagne, is perfectly recognized.
