Moet and Chandon Imperial Brut Non Vintage (NV) — Magnum, Moet and Chandon Champagne, Champagne. This 1.5 litre magnum presents Moet’s signature style: accessible, polished and made for celebrations.

Since 1743 Moet has stood as a household name in Champagne, and the Imperial Brut NV magnum offers a balanced blend and a poised, crowd-pleasing character. The wine combines bright fruit notes with gentle toasty depth for a refined, versatile bottle.

Tasting note: expect bright fruitiness with aromas of pear and citrus, backed by delicate brioche and a seductive, elegant palate. The texture is soft yet vibrant, finishing with fresh acidity and a creamy sensibility that makes it easy to enjoy now.

Blend and style: as noted in contemporary reviews, the Imperial Brut is produced in the traditional method from roughly 30–40% Pinot Noir, 30–40% Pinot Meunier and 20–30% Chardonnay, with a final cuvée composed from over a hundred individual wines and 20–30% reserve wines. The result is floral and toasty on the nose, with spicy tertiary notes and a persistent finish.

Critics' notes: Roger Voss of Wine Enthusiast (December 2022) described it as “an approachable Champagne, fine in its texture and soft fruit… a touch of citrus keeps the wine fresh” (90/100). Revista Adega (April 2024) praised its tense, refined profile and persistent finish, awarding 91/100.

Serving suggestion: serve well chilled and pair with smoked salmon blinis, fresh oysters or delicate crab croquettes to complement the wine’s citrus and brioche notes. Also a wonderful match for festive canapés, sushi or crab salads.

Why choose the Magnum: the 1.5 litre format is ideal for weddings, anniversaries or special gifts — it makes a striking presentation and is perfect for sharing at celebrations. Normally ships same working day when ordered before 12pm.
