NV Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial

Tasting notes
Tasted from magnum, the NV Champagne Imperial Brut is based on the 2018 vintage and displays a rich straw/golden color, while the nose is ripe with aromas of baked apples, graham spice, toast, and dusty earth. Medium-bodied, the palate is generous and fruity, with an approachable feel. Very consistent on the palate, it’s like a fresh baked apple pie all the way through. Suitable for a wide range of occasions, it will be best enjoyed over the next few years. 7 grams per liter dosage.

Low-key nose of strawberry and citrus notes with linden and buttery tones. Frothy yet quite brief bubbles, lean body, crisp acidity and a short finish. Drink now.
This is showing aromas of apricots, grapefruit, pears and short crust. Some walnuts, too. Medium-bodied, with soft bubbles and tasty nut and pie crust notes at the end. Blend of pinot noir, meunier and chardonnay. 24 months on the lees. Tasted from a magnum bottle. Drink now.
Sickly nose with crude quality of fruit. Not showing at its best. Bad storage perhaps? (RH)
