Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial
The only bottle from the house that calls for ice cubes. Chill to about 8 degrees, pour 12 cl into a large wine glass and add three ice cubes. The meltwater is part of the experience, and so is the glass.
Champagne that calls for ice cubes
Ice Impérial is made to be served over ice, and that is not a suggestion but the whole point of the bottle. The house provides precise serving advice: chill the champagne to about 8 degrees, pour 12 cl into a large wine glass and add three ice cubes. The ice is meant to dilute the champagne, which is why this wine is fuller and fruitier than a regular brut.
The blend contains the same three grapes as the rest of the house range: pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay, from Champagne in France. The house does not specify the percentages for this bottle. The alcohol content is the same as the other bottles, at 12.5%, although it naturally drops in the glass as the ice starts to melt.
In brief
Mango, guava, and nectarine
Tropical and distinctive
Bold tropical fruit: mango, guava, and nectarine, with caramel and quince underneath. Distinctly fresh despite those ripe aromas.
Fruit against acidity
The fruit is full-bodied, but firm acidity keeps it balanced. That acidity is also why the champagne doesn’t become flat as the ice melts.
Fresher with every cube
On ice, the fruit becomes more pronounced as the champagne softens. After five minutes in the glass, it tastes different from the first sip, and that’s the point.
The flavor profile as the house recommends serving it: 12 cl with three ice cubes. Straight from the bottle, you taste the same fruit, just more concentrated.
The house’s serving recommendation
The advice for this bottle is specific, and it’s worth following it to the letter: about 8 degrees, 12 cl per glass, and three ice cubes. The champagne is made for it.
12 cl with three ice cubes
Chill the bottle to about 8 degrees, put three ice cubes in a large wine glass first, then pour 12 cl over them. This chills the champagne evenly without making it foam over the rim.
Choose your glasses →Large cubes, not crushed ice
Three large cubes melt more slowly than a handful of small ones. The slower the ice melts, the longer the proportions stay right; with crushed ice, you’ll have diluted champagne in two minutes.
Bar tools →Pouring glass by glass
Pour one glass at a time and put the bottle back in the cooler. This way, a 75 cl bottle makes about six 12 cl servings, not counting the ice in the glass.
More about champagne →Sparkling drinks for the terrace
With its ice cubes, Ice Impérial is almost a serve in itself, so it needs very little added. If you’re looking for a proper sparkling cocktail, these are the terrace classics; a simpler bottle will do just fine.
Summer cocktails
Drinks that stay cold on a warm day. Champagne on ice belongs right on that list.
Aperol Spritz
Aperol, sparkling wine, and soda over plenty of ice in a large wine glass. Classic with prosecco, drier with champagne.
Hugo Spritz
Elderflower syrup, mint and lime with sparkling wine and soda. Light, refreshing and, like this bottle, served over ice.
Mimosa
Equal parts orange juice and sparkling wine. Use a regular brut here and leave out the ice.Why a flute won't work here
Three ice cubes and 12 cl simply won't fit in a flute, and the melting ice also needs room. A large wine glass with a wide bowl is the right choice here; save the flute for drinks without ice.
