The Icon Since 1869
Moet Imperial is the reference point for non-vintage Champagne: a blend of over a hundred wines across all three Champagne grapes, balanced so no single variety leads — Pinot Noir body, Meunier fruit and Chardonnay finesse in roughly equal conversation, finished dry and bright.

Tasting Notes
From the producer: golden straw yellow with green highlights; green apple and citrus intensity with mineral and white-flower freshness and blond brioche, cereal and fresh-nut notes; a generous palate of pear, peach and apple with fine bubbles and a gooseberry-bright finish.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled as the aperitif standard, or with sushi, oysters, white fish and light poultry — the balance that made it iconic is a food wine's balance.
