Champagne Moët & Chandon
Collection Impériale Création N° 1

This extraordinary Champagne Collection Impériale Création N° 1 has been created to mark the 280th anniversary of Moët & Chandon. An edition that pays tribute and represents the pinnacle of the vision of ‘Haute Œnologie’ to one of the most prestigious Maisons de Champagne, founded in 1743 by Claude Moët. It is a ‘Multi Vintage’ Champagne obtained from the blending of seven exceptional vintages, each carefully selected and aged in different environments to enhance their unique characteristics. The complex blending process begins with the 2013 vintage, aged in stainless steel tanks. This was joined by the refined 2012 vintage, the vigorous 2010, the vibrant 2008, the structured 2006, the lively 2000 (aged in oak barrels) and the superb 2004, aged on its lees in the bottle after the second fermentation. It is the first creation of a Collection that will introduce a new Cuvée every two years until the 300th anniversary of the Maison.

The Collection Impériale Création N° 1 has intense and luminous golden hues. On the nose, its aromatic profile, initially discreet, gradually opens up to reveal fascinating tertiary, reductive and mineral notes. Secondary aromas of coconut, vanilla and fruit then emerge, accompanied by hints of white grapes and Mirabelle plum, evoking a combination of candied citrus fruits ripened over time. On the palate, the maturity of this Champagne Brut Nature is fully manifested, offering a rich and serene experience. It envelops the senses with an aromatic sweetness that blends harmoniously with a creamy, delicate effervescence. The Champagne expands on the palate, offering a balance of freshness and bitterness. The finish persists with notes of smoke and liquorice, leaving a pleasant sensation of freshness that stimulates the palate.
