Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial is the house’s signature non-vintage Champagne, built to deliver consistency through a broad assemblage of vineyards, varieties and reserve wines. In the 187ML split, it offers the same familiar house style in a convenient single-serve format—particularly well suited to celebrations, gifting, events and individual service.
Blend: 30–40% Pinot Noir, 30–40% Meunier, 20–30% Chardonnay, incorporating 20–30% reserve wines.
Tasting Notes: Green apple, pear and white peach lead into white flowers, fresh brioche and a subtle nutty note. Fine bubbles and bright acidity keep the palate fresh and lively, with ripe orchard fruit providing enough generosity through the clean, balanced finish.
Structure: Fresh and approachable, with Pinot Noir providing body, Meunier contributing suppleness and Chardonnay bringing lift and finesse. A dosage of 7 g/L keeps the Brut style balanced without obscuring its fruit or freshness.
Drink Window: Drink now. Brut Impérial is blended for immediate enjoyment and consistency rather than extended bottle development, and the 187ML format is especially well suited to serving fresh and youthful.
Decanting: No decanting. Chill thoroughly and serve around 45–48°F; a tulip-shaped Champagne glass or small white-wine glass will show more aroma and texture than a narrow flute.
The 187ML split makes Brut Impérial especially useful when a full bottle is unnecessary—an individual toast, welcome pour, gift basket, hotel amenity or celebratory place setting. It delivers recognizable Champagne character and the established Moët & Chandon house style in a polished, practical single-serving format.
