Its blend reflects the diversity and complementarity of the three main grape varieties in Champagne whose proportions vary from year to year, but always find the same harmony: the body of Pinot Noir (30 to 40%), the suppleness of Meunier (30 to 40%), and the finesse of Chardonnay (20 to 30%).
Slightly golden straw yellow with delicate green glints.
Green apple, citrus, etc. The striking intensity of these fruity notes is immediately followed by a wave of mineral freshness and white flowers. Then, the blonde nuances of brioche, cereals and fresh nuts hint at elegant maturity.
Generous and tasty, white fruit notes including pear, white peach and apple, unfurl on the palate, in the company of fine, light bubbles. Then, little by little, the sweet liveliness of the citrus nuances comes into focus, and lingers delicately in the mouth.

Even with the eyes closed, Moët Impérial champagne evokes the golden yellow of a sabayon dessert, the fresh tones of a yellow citrus fruit, the ethereal translucency of an espuma, the light green glints on cucumber flesh or the crystalline shine of an opaline.
The fine effervescence requires a texture that is supple and light, like a golden drape. The subtle palate requires an energetic and non-aggressive mouthfeel, like fettuccine “al dente” or the flesh of a grainy, crunchy pear.

Fresh fruit with a contrasting seafood element, whether salty or spicy.

The taste of the sea: oysters, oyster leaf, sea urchins, etc. A vegetable nuance, no overcooking and seasoned (extra virgin olive oil and coarse salt) to soften the vegetal sensation. A touch of warm spice, turmeric or curry for delicate seasoning.
