Moët & Chandon 'End of Year Golden Sleeve' Limited Edition Impérial Brut Champagne

Winemaker Notes: Sleek, chic and oh-so glamorous… this limited-edition bottle of Moët & Chandon's iconic Impérial Brut has been wrapped entirely in a pale and interesting textured sleeve just in time for end-of-year celebrations. Whether it's to serve at a party you're hosting yourself or to be stashed under the tree for the most style-conscious person on your gift list, it will add a sense of sophistication to many a festive celebration.

The color is an elegant golden straw yellow with amber highlights. Its aromas are radiant, revealing bright yellow-fleshed fruits (apple, pear, yellow peach), honey, floral nuances (lime blossom) and elegant blond notes (brioche and fresh nuts). The palate is seductive, richly flavorful and smooth combining generosity and subtlety, fullness and vigor, followed by a delicately fresh crispiness (fruit with seeds), to reveal the magical balance of Champagne.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Spectator - "An elegant version, fine and creamy in texture and backed by lively, orange peel acidity. A streak of smoke-tinged minerality underscores flavors of almond madeleine, poached pear, anise and preserved lemon. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Drink now. "


James Suckling - "This is showing aromas of apricots, grapefruit, pears and short crust. Some walnuts, too. Medium-bodied, with soft bubbles and tasty nut and pie crust notes at the end. Blend of pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay. 24 months on the lees. "
