Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial Champagne 75cl is the first Champagne created specifically to be enjoyed over ice, offering a fresh, fruity and intense interpretation of the Moët & Chandon style. Designed for a more relaxed and contemporary way of enjoying Champagne, Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial combines vibrant fruit character, generous texture and refreshing acidity.
Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial is built around a blend dominated by Pinot Noir, supported by Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. The current Moët & Chandon specification gives Pinot Noir at 40–50%, Pinot Meunier at 30–40% and Chardonnay at 10–20%, with 20–30% specially selected reserve wines used to enhance intensity, richness and consistency.
On the nose, Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial displays an intense, fruity character led by tropical fruit aromas such as mango and guava. These develop into the sumptuous stone-fruit character of nectarine, accompanied by a distinctive raspberry note. The deep gold colour with amber highlights adds to its rich visual character.
On the palate, Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial is broad, fleshy and voluptuous, with the sensation of a fresh fruit salad. Sweet flavours of caramel and quince jelly provide richness, while grapefruit and ginger bring refreshing acidity and lift. The result is a Champagne with a generous, fruit-driven personality that is particularly suited to its unconventional serving style.
Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial should be served over ice rather than using the traditional Champagne serving approach. Moët & Chandon recommends enjoying it with three ice cubes, allowing the melting ice to reveal and emphasise its fresh, vibrant profile. Garnishes such as mint, strawberry, lemon, ginger, lime, raspberry or white grapefruit can also be used to create a more personalised serving experience.
As a demi-sec Champagne with a dosage of 45 g/litre, Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial is designed around a balance of sweetness, fruitiness and freshness. It is an especially distinctive choice for summer occasions, relaxed celebrations, outdoor entertaining or anyone looking for a Champagne experience that breaks from tradition.
