Moët & Chandon Collection Impériale Création N°1 is an exceptional champagne celebrating 280 years of winemaking excellence. This prestigious cuvée showcases the house's mastery.

Appearance

This distinguished champagne displays a radiant, deep golden hue reminiscent of a canary diamond. The fine, persistent mousse creates an elegant stream of delicate bubbles, whilst the wine's luminous colour hints at the complexity within the glass.

Aroma

The nose reveals remarkable depth and sophistication. Initial notes of liquorice and mocha intertwine with toasted brioche, creating a captivating foundation. As the wine opens, delicate hints of madeleine, roasted hazelnut, and vanilla emerge, complemented by a luscious fruit profile of dried fig and mirabelle plum. This multi-layered bouquet demonstrates the artistry of blending multiple vintages.

Palate

On the palate, this champagne delivers a harmonious balance of aromatic sweetness and creamy effervescence. The texture is luxuriously smooth, with the mousse providing a velvety mouthfeel. A refreshing touch of bitterness adds structure, whilst lingering notes of smoke and liquorice create a sophisticated, memorable finish. The wine's complexity unfolds beautifully, revealing new dimensions with each sip.

Pairs With

This versatile champagne pairs exquisitely with oysters, lobster thermidor, or seared scallops. It's equally sublime alongside aged Comté or Parmesan cheese. For a decadent pairing, serve with foie gras or truffle-infused dishes. The wine's complexity also makes it perfect for celebratory toasts and special occasions.

Collection Impériale Création N°1 is the quintessence of the Moët & Chandon style: bright fruitiness, seductive palate and elegant maturity.

Collection Impériale Création N°1 is a blend of seven remarkable vintages, each with singularities, and each carefully evaluated and aged in distinct environments to enhance its individual qualities.

Their intricate assemblage begins with the fresh 2013 Grand Vintage, aged in stainless steel tanks, complemented by the refined 2012, powerful 2010, tense 2008, full-bodied 2006, lively 2000, aged in oak casks, and finished with the elegant 2004, bottle aged on lees after its second fermentation.

40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Meunier.

Leveraging the art of selecting, ageing, blending, and maturing, Collection Impériale Création N°1 is the first Moët & Chandon brut nature champagne, 0g/l, disgorged in 2022, delivering a pure expression of its flavours.

Benoît Gouez, the Cellar Master, tested to find the perfect harmony for this wine. His desire was to let the wine express all its aromatic complexity and find this delicate balance of harmony at the same time. When he was blindly tasting it, he decided a brut nature was the right way to let the wine’s character shine.
