Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial Limited Edition x Yoon Ahn
Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial Limited Edition x Yoon Ahn is the 2021 artist collaboration between Moët & Chandon and Korean-American designer Yoon Ahn of AMBUSH — the maison's first-ever global product collaboration, and the first time in 152 years (since 1869) that the iconic Impérial bottle was redesigned by an artist. Ahn gave the bottle a high-contrast minimalist treatment: a deep black neck replacing the signature golden foil, with a new all-white embossed label. Inside is the classic Moët Impérial Brut NV champagne. A 750mL limited-edition bottle, equally a collector's piece and a party centerpiece — and a portion of the collaboration's profits supported the World Land Trust's Canandé Reserve in Ecuador's Chocó Forest.

Moët's First Artist Collaboration
When LVMH gave Yoon Ahn carte blanche over the Impérial bottle, she stripped it to black and white: the golden neck went deep black, the label went all-white and embossed. The result reads as streetwear-minimalist on a 152-year-old icon — fitting for the co-founder of AMBUSH and Dior Men's jewelry design director. The champagne itself is the familiar Moët Impérial Brut NV, so this edition is bought for the design and the occasion: a gift bottle, a New Year's table, a collector's shelf. A portion of profits went to the World Land Trust, directed to the Canandé Reserve in Ecuador — Ahn chose the charity herself. Browse more Moët & Chandon champagnes and the champagne collection.
Tasting Notes
The champagne inside is standard Moët Impérial Brut NV: white-fleshed fruits (apple, pear, peach), citrus, and white flowers with brioche and cereal notes from lees aging; lively, generous palate with a smooth, balanced finish. (Core-product profile; the edition changes the bottle, not the wine.)
How to Enjoy
Chill to 8–10°C and serve in white wine glasses rather than flutes to catch the aromatics. Built for celebrations — apéritif pours, toasts, and pairing with oysters, sushi, or fried chicken. Keep the bottle after; the black-neck design is the keepsake.
