Moet & Chandon Brut Rose Imperial 375mL
Moet & Chandon Brut Rose Imperial 375mL is a non-vintage 12% ABV (24 proof) rose Champagne in a 375mL half bottle, blended from Pinot Noir (40-50%), Pinot Meunier (30-40%), and Chardonnay (10-20%) and aged roughly 21 months on lees at the house founded in Epernay in 1743. The pink color comes from still red wine — Pinot Noir vinified red — added to the blend, a house technique that gives the cuvee its signature wild-berry character. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Pink Side of the Most Famous Champagne House
Brut Rose Imperial is Moet & Chandon's extrovert: same 1743 house and same Epernay cellars as the famous gold-label Brut Imperial, but built around the 40-50% Pinot Noir core plus still red wine to give it a vibrant pink with amber highlights. Reserve wines (20-30% of the blend) and nearly two years on lees round the edges into something lush and juicy rather than austere.

Tasting Notes
Wild strawberry, raspberry, and cherry lead, with rose and honeysuckle florals and a hint of pepper. The palate is juicy red fruit — redcurrant, peach, and a minty freshness — over a creamy mousse and brisk acidity that keeps it lively to the finish.
How to Enjoy
Chill to about 45F and serve in a white-wine glass or flute. It is a natural match for strawberry desserts, summer fruit salads, and sushi — and a half bottle is exactly two generous pours for a quiet evening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Brut Rose Imperial the same as regular Brut Imperial?
No — Brut Rose Imperial is the rose version, with still red wine blended in for its pink color and berry-driven profile, while Brut Imperial is the classic gold-label white cuvee.
What does 9 g/L dosage mean?
It is the sugar added at disgorgement — 9 grams per liter puts it firmly in brut territory, dry but fruit-forward.
Is the 375mL the full-size bottle?
No — this is the half bottle, exactly half a standard 750mL. Perfect for two people when a full bottle is too much.
