Description
Symbolic of French hospitality, the Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial Mathusalem delivers a grand presentation of effervescence. In its 6-litre format, it easily serves large receptions, galas and milestone birthdays, giving every pour a controlled festive character. Brut Impérial, an emblematic cuvée of the House since 1869, marries freshness, breadth and elegance through an assembly of remarkable precision, bringing together more than 200 crus. The inclusion of 20 to 30% reserve wines ensures a consistent signature, delicate maturity and a complexity that never veers into ostentation. Beneath its rim of bubbles, the fruit’s flesh expresses itself clearly, enhanced by brioche notes and a nervy finish that invites the next glass. Housed in a wooden case, this Mathusalem is as much a centrepiece on the table as it is a visual statement, an object of celebration with timeless chic.
Blend and winemaking
Brut Impérial is a harmonious blend that weaves together the three Champagne grape varieties. Pinot Noir, at around 30 to 40%, provides structure, backbone and fruity depth. Pinot Meunier, in a comparable proportion, delivers roundness and immediate approachability. Chardonnay, roughly 20 to 30%, brings finesse, precision and a lemony lift. To this framework are added 20 to 30% reserve wines, giving body, continuity and aromatic depth. The dosage is Brut and the alcohol is set at 12.5% vol., offering a style that is both fresh and flavorful. The appellation Champagne AOC frames this blending art, guaranteeing origin, method and the House’s exacting standards at every stage, from cru selection to patient ageing on the lees.
Tasting notes
- Appearance: Golden yellow with green highlights, crossed by a fine, regular effervescence that sculpts a persistent, luminous bead.
- Nose: Burst of white-fleshed fruits, pear and apple, supported by chiselled citrus, airy white flowers and a subtle buttery, briochey, hazelnut hint.
- Palate: Lively, savory attack, a melded and perfectly balanced texture, finishing crunchy and elongated by a savory freshness that invites conviviality.
Serving temperature and tips
Serve this Mathusalem between 10 and 12°C in tulip glasses or white wine glasses to reveal the finesse of its bubbles and the breadth of its bouquet. Allow a few minutes of aeration before serving to let the brioche notes and white fruits open gracefully. Keep the bottle upright for presentation, then secure it in an ice bucket to maintain freshness during service. This Brut Impérial can be enjoyed now for its vibrant character, and also after a few years when its pastry notes gain in depth.
Food pairings
- Aperitifs: thin citrus tartlets, light gougères, caviar or smoked salmon blinis to highlight the wine’s fruity tension.
- Starters: sea bass carpaccio, seared scallops, delicate ceviche, asparagus with lemon mousseline.
- Main courses: herb-roasted poultry, creamy risotto, veal fillet cooked pink, sushi and sashimi for a purity-driven match.
- Cheeses: mature Comté, young Brie, shaved Parmesan for a meeting of salinity and milky sweetness.
- Desserts: thin pear tart, vanilla-hazelnut entremets, gently candied citrus.
