Brut Impérial is Moët & Chandon's most iconic Champagne, a symbol of elegance and tradition since 1869. It represents the Maison's style with a fruity and brilliant taste, a seductive palate and a sophisticated maturity. Produced with a blend of Pinot Noir for structure, Pinot Meunier for softness and Chardonnay for refinement, it uses 20% to 30% reserve wines to ensure complexity and consistency in the organoleptic profile. Intense aromas of green apple and citrus, accompanied by mineral nuances and blond notes of brioche and cereals. Generous and lively on the palate, with the delicacy of white fruits such as pear and peach, a creamy perlage and a finish of citrus freshness and gooseberry. Ideal to accompany seafood, sushi and refined appetizers.

It all began in 1743, when Claude Moët founded a Maison in his own name after a long experience first as a vigneron and later as a cellar master. It did so by starting to distribute its wines in Paris outside the Champagne region in an era that coincided with the growth in demand for sparkling wine: success was immediate, so much so that in a short time Moët Champagne became the most appreciated one at the court of King of France and at the end of the 18th century it was exported throughout Europe and the United States of America. The growth continued with his nephew Jean Remy, who purchased new land, expanded the cellars, and built a real commercial network that reached famous clients such as Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon Bonaparte. Subsequently Remy will leave the leadership of Moët to his son Victor and son-in-law Pierre Gabriel Chandon, from whom the current name of the Maison, Moët & Chandon Champagne, derives.
