About Moët & Chandon

Moët & Chandon was founded in 1743 in the Champagne region of France. From the start the house aimed to make wines that could be enjoyed across many occasions, not only for royalty or the very wealthy. Any celebration, it strives to be there.

Over the centuries, the brand built a reputation for consistent style, blending grapes and vintages to produce wines that are approachable and food-friendly. Today, Moët mixes tradition with modern culture. You will see its bottles at formal events, music festivals, and on restaurant lists.

Moët & Chandon focuses on clear, drinkable expressions that introduce newcomers to the world of sparkling wine while still offering deeper cuvées for collectors.

Notable Bottles From Moët & Chandon

Imperial Brut Champagne

This is the house's flagship non‑vintage cuvée and the one most people picture when they think of the brand. It is blended to deliver a consistent profile year after year, balancing bright fruit with a touch of yeast character from time on the lees. The bottle is designed to be versatile: it works as an aperitif, with light starters, or alongside richer dishes. For someone buying their first bottle, this is a clear, dependable choice that shows what the house style is about.

Nectar Impérial Champagne

Nectar Impérial is the richer, slightly sweeter sibling to the Brut, designed for those who enjoy a fuller mouthfeel and pronounced fruit. It pairs well with spicy cuisine, fruit desserts, and dishes that need a wine with body and sweetness to match. The cuvée is blended to emphasize ripe fruit and a plush texture while keeping enough acidity to stay balanced. If you are exploring how sweetness and bubbles work together, this bottle is a useful example.

Ice Imperial Champagne

This expression was created specifically to be served over ice, which is unusual for traditional sparkling wine. The wine is blended to keep its fruit and freshness even when chilled with ice, so the flavors remain lively rather than diluted. It is aimed at warm weather, outdoor parties, and casual, modern serving styles. If you like a relaxed approach to sparkling wine or want something that pairs with summer cocktails, this bottle offers a different way to enjoy bubbles.

Nectar Impérial Rosé Champagne

This rosé cuvée leans toward the fruitier side and carries a sweeter, rounder profile than the dry Brut. It blends red fruit character with the house's signature brioche notes, making it a good match for desserts, spicy food, or a bold cheese board. The rosé color and approachable sweetness make it a popular choice for celebrations where a lively, expressive wine is wanted. For someone who prefers fruit-forward wines, this bottle is an easy entry into rosé sparkling.
