Moet & Chandon Rose Imperial 6 X 75cl - CASE DEAL

Tasting Notes:

Lively and generous, Rose Imperial distinguishes itself by a radiant colour, an intense fruitiness and flamboyance on the palate, that instantly seduce and delight. The color is a glowing pink with dominant red tones and purple highlights. 

The aromas are intense and irresistible, a lively bouquet of fresh red summer berries (strawberry, raspberry and red currant) with floral nuances (rose, hawthorn) and a light peppery touch.

The palate is flamboyant and combines intensity and roundness: fleshy and juicy at first, then firm (fruit stone), with a subtle herbal (mint) finish.

Rose Imperial's assemblage is built on the intensity of Pinot Noir (40 to 50%, 10% of which are red wine), the fruitiness of Pinot Meunier (30 to 40%, 10% of which are red wine) and the finesse of Chardonnay (10 to 20%). The use of 20 to 30% of carefully selected reserve wines complete the assemblage and enhance its intensity, subtlety and consistency.
