✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Moët & Chandon's 'Dry Imperial' (often labeled as Dry Impérial) is a historic cuvée that harkens back to an era when the global palate favored a slightly sweeter, rounder style of Champagne. In the lexicon of Champagne, 'Dry' (or Sec) denotes a wine with a higher dosage than Brut, yielding a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and soft, luscious sweetness. Historically, this bottling was a favorite among late 19th and early 20th-century European high society, frequently served at grand banquets and royal celebrations. Crafted using the traditional method, it draws from the house's extensive access to premier and grand cru vineyards across the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs. The chalky soils of these regions impart a signature mineral backbone that beautifully offsets the wine's richer, off-dry profile.
