The Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial is an esemblage of 3 varietals - Pinot Noir offering intensity, Pinot Meunier which lends roundness and Chardonnay for elegance. The blend is crafted to be consistent in a house style year after year and relies on a proportion of reserve wines to ensure this style is acheived each year by the master blenders. Between 20-30 % of the blend is from the reserve wines which add intensity, subtelty and the needed consistency. There are 9 g of residual sugar added in the dosage prior to disgorgement.
