Mini Moët & Chandon Impérial Rosé Champagne, 20 cl

Approximately 8 years ago Moet & Chandon completely changed the blend for their Rose. And thank goodness they did too. The wine moved from being rather lifeless and overly acidic into a highly approachable and satisfying Champagne. The change was well timed – Rose Champagne sales have risen considerably over the last few years. The colour is a glowing pink with dominant red tones and purple highlights. The aromas are intense and irresistible, a lively bouquet of fresh red summer berries (strawberry, raspberry, red currant) with floral nuances (rose, hawthorn) and a light peppery touch. The palate is flamboyant, combining intensity and roundness : fleshy and juicy at first, then firm (fruit stone), with a subtle mint finish. Moet & Chandon remains to be the largest House within the region- considerably larger than any of its competitors. Claude Moet was the visionary behind this brand establishing the Maison back in 1743. One of their most famous (or should that be infamous) fans was none other than Napoleon who it is said took bottles of Moet & Chandon wherever he travelled. Wonderful fresh, floral style
