In celebration of its 280-year legacy, Moët & Chandon proudly introduces Collection Impériale Création No. 1, a remarkable creation that epitomizes the Maison’s centuries of champagne-making expertise. This inaugural release in the new Collection Impériale line marks a significant milestone, blending tradition with innovation to achieve unparalleled complexity and artistry.
A Tribute to Legacy and Innovation
Collection Impériale Création No. 1 is crafted from an exquisite blend of exceptional vintages, meticulously matured in oak casks and on lees in bottles. This process pays homage to Claude Moët, the visionary founder of Moët & Chandon in 1743. The result is a champagne that stands as a new pinnacle in Haute Oenologie, a testament to the Maison’s dedication to blending tradition with cutting-edge techniques.
Benoît Gouez, Moët & Chandon’s Cellar Master, describes Collection Impériale Création No. 1 as a champagne with deep, bright yellow hues and a complex aromatic profile featuring notes of licorice root, mocha, and fresh hazelnut. The champagne delivers a creamy effervescence with a lingering finish of smoke and licorice, making it a true masterpiece.
