Champagne Moët et Chandon Rosé Impérial

Wine information: Since 1743, Moët & Chandon has made on of the world's favourite champagnes. The quality of their wines gives full expression to the richness and diversity of the fabulous vineyards, the largest and most prestigious estate in the whole of Champagne, made up almost exclusively of Premiers Crus and Grands Crus. Moët & Chandon produce joyous wines, with a generous and seductive personality, distinguished by their sparkling fruitiness, their flavoursome body and their elegant maturity. Ever loyal to the ambition of Jean-Rémy, grandson of the original founder, who believed more than any other in the seductive power and the magic of champagne, Moët & Chandon is still, and more than ever before, the symbol of pleasure, grandeur and pure celebration. Brut Impèrial Rosè is a blend of the three wine varieties, with an emphasis on Pinot Noir, embodying a fruity and daring character.

Tasting Notes: Rosè with shades of copper, good intensity, this Champagne displays lively, expressive, aromas dominated by the scent of wild strawberries. It is full-bodied, with zestful, assertive fruitiness.

Reviews: "A fresh rosé, displaying flavors of raspberry, fig, tangy cherry and smoke, with well-integrated acidity. Focused and harmonious, with a spiced, lip-smacking finish. Drink now through 2014." 91 Points, Wine Spectator.

Orange-pink with a vigorous bead. Smoky red berry, cherry and tobacco aromas with a subtle floral overlay. Firm, vaguely bitter red fruit flavors are nicely focused, with a juicy note of tangerine gaining strength with air. The long, mineral-driven finish shows good grip. I like this wine's mix of fleshiness and dryness. Stephen Tanzer 90 Points (NV) - Nov 08. By Josh Raynolds.
