Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial
The house’s pink bottle, and the only one in which some of the Pinot Noir is added to the blend as red wine. This brings notes of wild strawberry, raspberry and cherry, while the bottle remains a dry brut.
Where the pink color comes from
Rosé Impérial is Moët & Chandon’s rosé and relies more heavily on Pinot Noir than the regular Brut Impérial. The blend contains 40 to 50 percent Pinot Noir, 30 to 40 percent Pinot Meunier and 10 to 20 percent Chardonnay. The distinctive feature is that first grape: around a tenth of the blend is added as red wine. That’s what gives it its bright pink color, along with a firmer structure and the red fruit you’ll find in the glass.
The Chardonnay share is noticeably lower here than in the Brut Impérial, which contains 20 to 30 percent Chardonnay. You can taste the difference: the rosé is fuller and fruitier, with less of that crisp citrus character. Still, this is a brut and therefore a dry Champagne, at the same 12.5% as every other bottle from the house in Épernay.
At a glance
Wild strawberries, raspberries and a peppery kick
Red fruit and rose
Wild strawberries, raspberries and cherries come first, followed by notes of rose and a slight peppery kick that keeps the aroma intriguing.
Full-bodied
The intensity of red fruit lingers and is complemented by peach flesh. Fruity and full-bodied, but not sweet.
Menthol and freshness
The finish has a menthol-like freshness. That is exactly what makes it a good match for Mediterranean dishes and sushi.
Tasting profile of Rosé Impérial served on its own, at 8 to 10 degrees. The red fruit comes through more strongly as the champagne warms slightly in the glass.
How to pour Rosé Impérial
Chill the bottle to 8 to 10 degrees and turn the bottle, not the cork, when opening. Pour down the side of a tilted glass and fill it about two-thirds full; a 75 cl bottle makes about five glasses.
On its own with food
Pour about 12 cl per glass and put the bottle back in the cooler. The red fruit and peppery kick hold their own with Mediterranean dishes and sushi, where a crisp brut sometimes falls short.
Glass: tulip or flute →From a white wine glass
To really smell the rose and wild strawberries, pour 10 cl into a white wine glass instead of a narrow flute. More surface area means more aroma; you trade off some bubbles.
Wine glasses →Kir Royale with rosé
Pour 15 ml crème de cassis into the bottom of the glass and top up with 110 ml Rosé Impérial. The red fruit in the champagne carries through into the cassis, so keep the amount small.

Red fruit in the bottle calls for a mixer that won't overpower it. Keep the pour small and let the champagne do the work.
Kir Royale
Crème de cassis at the bottom, topped up with bubbles. With a rosé, it has a deeper color and fuller fruit.

Peach purée topped up with bubbles. The peach notes in the rosé pair perfectly.
Aperitif cocktails
The drinks that get an evening started. A rosé brut is delicious just as it is.Which glass goes with Rosé Impérial?
A tulip-shaped glass brings out the red fruit and rose while still preserving the bubbles. A flute is the safe choice for toasting; a coupe is festive but lets the bubbles escape faster.
