Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial Mini (200 ml) (Limited Edition 2023 Box Set) (Pack 6)

When Claude Moët established his maison on the Avenue de Champagne in Épernay in 1743, the ambition was scale without compromise — a philosophy that Chef de Cave Benoît Gouez (in post since 2005) continues through a tasting committee of ten oenologists evaluating 822+ base wines per assemblage cycle. The Brut Impérial NV draws fruit from across all five Champagne sub-regions — Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Côte des Blancs, Sézanne, and the Aube — on chalky limestone soils that drive the house's signature mineral tension and fine, persistent mousse. The blend spans 200+ crus, typically Pinot Noir 30–40%, Pinot Meunier 30–40%, Chardonnay 20–30%, anchored by 20–30% reserve wines for cross-vintage consistency. Fermentation is conducted in thermoregulated stainless steel with systematic malolactic fermentation — a technique Moët pioneered in the region — before a minimum 24 months on lees in 28 km of chalk cellars beneath Épernay, nearly double the AOC non-vintage minimum of 15 months. Dosage is set at approximately 7 g/L at 12% ABV. What distinguishes this 200 ml Limited Edition 2023 Box Set of six is the format itself: small-volume bottles re-ferment in proportion, producing a slightly finer, more persistent bead than the standard 750 ml, making each mini a structurally distinct serve rather than a simple convenience format.
