General Information
Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial is crafted with a meticulous blend of pinot noir (40-50%), which provides structure and fruity flavor; pinot meunier (30-40%), which offers fleshiness and roundness; and chardonnay (10-20%), which delivers a refreshing finish. It includes between 20% and 30% reserve wines to enhance its intensity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel with systematic protection against oxidation. Complete malolactic fermentation is applied to soften the acidity and add roundness. The wine matures for 18 months in the cellar, followed by a minimum aging of 3 months after disgorging.
Moët & Chandon, founded in 1743 in Épernay, is one of the most prestigious champagne houses in the world. With centuries of tradition and excellence, its philosophy combines innovation and respect for the terroir. Under the direction of cellar master Benoît Gouez, the Maison has created Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial as a contemporary expression of its legacy. A champagne that breaks the mold by being specifically designed to be served with ice.
Ice Impérial pairs perfectly with fresh ingredients such as mint leaves, lemon zest, cucumber peel, ginger, cardamom seeds, and red fruits like strawberries and raspberries. It can also be accompanied by fruit sushi, ceviches, fresh cheeses like feta and burrata, and exotic dressings like coconut milk and lime.
The winery
Winery
The Moët house was founded in 1743 in Épernay by Claude Moët, a counselor from Reims who, within a few years, managed to have his champagne exported to more than half of Europe. His son, Jean Rémy, was the true driving force behind a brand that by the end of the century was not only Napoleon's favorite but also that of all the royal houses of the Old Continent.
Currently, Moët & Chandon belongs to the Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy group, along with Dom Pérignon, the legendary champagne that Moët has been producing since 1921. Both brands are associated with luxury, glamour, and exclusivity, despite the fact that today the house produces nearly 26 million bottles. Moët & Chandon is, without a doubt, the maison that shines the brightest on Épernay's historic Avenue de Champagne.
