We already know that Moët & Chandon Champagne is immensely popular. But a fun fact is that every second, a bottle of Moët & Chandon Champagne is opened somewhere in the world! The most famous Champagne from this prestigious Champagne house is undoubtedly this Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial. This most famous Champagne worldwide has its origins in 1743, the year the Champagne house was founded. Over 250 years later, it is the largest Champagne house in existence! The magnificent cellars, which are also open to the public, stretch a total of 28 kilometers to a depth of approximately 30 meters underground. The main Moët & Chandon building is located on Rue de Champagne in Eperney and, with its stately appearance, is one of the most beautiful buildings on this street.
The most famous Champagne is Moet & Chandon
Moët & Chandon owns 600 hectares of vineyards in the finest areas of the Champagne region. Unfortunately, this isn't enough for the large production Moët & Chandon achieves each year. For this reason, grapes are grown with partners known as "growers." These are contracted winemakers who take much of the work off Moët & Chandon's hands. This delicious Brut Champagne is made with the three well-known Champagne grapes: Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay. Naturally, only grapes from the finest areas are used. The grapes are closely monitored in each vineyard and treated like little princes. As you can imagine, only the best is good enough for Moët & Chandon.
What does Moet & Chandon Brut taste like?
Moët's commitment to only the best is clearly evident in this exceptionally pure Champagne. The Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial boasts a beautiful, clear yellow color with a lovely golden sparkle. The delicate mousse dances through the glass, bringing a sense of joy in itself. The aroma reveals pleasant aromas of citrus, apple, pear, and a hint of freshly baked bread. The palate is festive, with delicate bubbles on the palate. Deliciously rich yet refreshing flavors of ripe white fruit interspersed with hints of citrus. The finish is refreshing and long, and, as we expected, very festive!
