At Moët & Chandon, the irresistible rise of rosé champagne has revealed the thousand secrets of the House’s wine traditions which have given birth to a range of versatile styles, designed to appeal to all palates. Rosé is not new to champagne. Historically, the first wines from this region were known for their "pinkish hue", which can be explained by the impact of the northern climate on the maturity of black grape varieties with white flesh grown in vineyards.
Only a small percentage of these grapes, once they reach the expected degree of maturity, have a perfect color and a generous intensity, is used to produce rosé champagne. Consequently, the production of rosé represents only around 10% of the total production of champagne. True luxury is synonymous with exclusivity, and rosé champagnes are undoubtedly among the most exclusive of the champagne varieties.
Today, Moët & Chandon is once again a pioneer in terms of rosé. The Maison has diversified its production of rosé champagne with a collection of four styles that transcend the seasons and special occasions to appeal to all palates. A diversified range of extra rough, raw and semi-dry rosé champagnes offering the variety necessary to conquer all taste buds, while remaining faithful to the style of the House.
Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial Limited Edition
For the first time, the bottle of Rosé Impérial has been redesigned to enhance the sparkle of Pinot Noir grapes. Its new color "black and rose gold" creates a striking contrast between the deep and matte black - the color of Pinot Noir grapes - and the shades of pink. The new, raspberry-colored label is inspired by the oldest existing Moët & Chandon rosé champagne label, dating back to 1873.
Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial
Within the Moët & Chandon range, the Rosé Impérial, a perfectly fruity and intensely colored champagne, has become the rosé symbol of the House. If the Imperial Rosé is renowned for its radiant color, its intense fruitiness and its flamboyant palate, this is thanks to its custom assembly. The Rosé Impérial is a success in its own right, with its own custom-made blend to create an original and authentic rosé champagne, and not a modified version of the Moët Impérial.
Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial Rosé
Moët & Chandon created Ice Imperial Rosé in 2016:
the first rosé champagne in the world specially assembled to be tasted exclusively on ice.
The idea was to make a festive and playful champagne evoking
the nuances of a summer sunset, matured by nature and served
with the panache that only Moët & Chandon can offer.
Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé 2012
"Grand Vintage" champagnes are blended exclusively with grapes from a single vintage.
For this reason, "Grand Vintage" champagnes are very unique and are closely linked to the characteristics of the harvests of a specific year.
They are an ode to this harvest and the year of the latter is proudly
displayed on the bottle. The Grand Vintage Rosé 2012 stands out for its maturity,
complexity and charisma; it evokes the transition from spring to summer,
offering a certain delicacy, accompanied by freshness and coral nuances.
