Moët & Chandon, the renowned champagne house founded in 1743, unveils a new limited edition to celebrate its French heritage. This exclusive release, adorned in the colors of the tricolor flag, offers a unique interpretation of the house’s ancestral expertise.
Moët & Chandon Impérial Limited Edition: Blue, White, Red!
For over two centuries, Moët & Chandon has embodied French excellence worldwide. To honor France and its place of origin, Moët Impérial now proudly displays the blue, white, and red colors for this limited edition!
The label of the Moët & Chandon Impérial bottle is decorated in national colors, paying tribute to the country and the Champagne terroir. An exceptionally golden tie adorns the neck of the bottle, sealed with an image of the Arc de Triomphe, a historical monument commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806. A year later, the Emperor visited the Moët & Chandon cellars for the first time, a memorable visit immortalized in the Galerie Impériale, which is open to the public during oenological tours in Epernay.
Moët Impérial was named in memory of Napoleon, who was welcomed several times in Champagne by Jean-Rémy Moët, the founder’s grandson. The first delivery of this bottle in 1869 coincided with the centenary of the Emperor’s birth. Since then, Moët Impérial has transcended eras, marking events and evolving with styles.
Generations of cellar masters at Moët & Chandon have always been guided by a rigorous and visionary philosophy. Today, Benoit Gouez, the Chef de Cave since 2005, continues this tradition. His meticulous work allows Moët Impérial to stand out for its fruity character, savory palate, and elegant maturity. “Preserving our style is both the most challenging and the most stimulating aspect of the cellar master’s mission,” Benoit Gouez concludes.
