In the world of champagne, each bubble tells a story, a story that spans centuries and is tasted in every sip. On this exquisite journey we will analyze eight proposals that represent four of the most prestigious Champagne Maisons, each with its unique charm and unwavering commitment to excellence.
Let's start by traveling to the heart of the French province of Champagne, where Moët
Moët Impérial: consistency and generosity
Precision assembled from 10 different wines, Moët Impérial is a symphony of balance. With Pinot Noir (30-40%), Meunier (30-40%), and Chardonnay (20-30%), each sip is a unique experience.
Originated through a careful blind selection of 10 base wines regardless of their origin, its non-oxidative production and 100% malolactic fermentation culminate in a 24-month maturation in the winery. The result is a generous mix of white fruits such as pear, peach and apple, with fine bubbles and a soft liveliness of citrus fruits and gooseberry.
Moët Rosé Impérial: intensity and freshness
With a captivating intensity, this champagne is composed of Pinot Noir (40-50%), Meunier (30-40%) and Chardonnay (10-20%).
Matured for 21 months in the cellar, Moët Rosé Impérial offers a unique experience with its juicy and persistent intensity of red fruits, combined with the freshness of a subtle menthol note.
Moët Ice Imperial: freshness and fun
Freshness takes the stage with Moët Ice Impérial, meticulously created with Pinot Noir (40-50%), Meunier (30-40%) and Chardonnay (10-20%). The blind and independent selection of the base wines, together with non-oxidative fermentation and 100% malolactic fermentation, gives rise to a unique champagne.
Matured for 18 months in the winery, its dosage of 45 g/l (Demi-sec) creates a refreshing and rounded experience, with notes of fruit salad and a vibrant finish of grapefruit and ginger.
Moët

Moët
Discover the vibrant complexity of Moët
Spicy aromas of dark berries, a powerful and multifaceted palate, and a refreshing finish with notes of mint and anise create a unique and memorable experience.
All creative processes have their limitations. The limitation of Dom Pérignon is the Vintage: Dom Pérignon can only be produced from the harvest of a single year.
The Maison's ambition is to bear witness to each year, whatever the challenges, even accepting not to declare a vintage if the quality is not excellent.
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2013: elegant clarity
Dom Pérignon Vintage 2013 invites us to immerse ourselves in a year marked by the alternation of extremes, capturing the essence of late harvests. After ten years of maturation on lees, this champagne reveals limpid and evident lines of harmony sculpted by time.
With a vintage that defied the elements, 2013 presents a double creative dimension, assembling complementary aspects and anticipating the effect of time.
The elegant clarity of this champagne reveals unique nuances, from citrus to spice, an experience that celebrates Dom Pérignon's dedication to oenological mastery.
Born in the Age of Enlightenment, a time of ideas, connection and conversation, refinement and culture, Maison Ruinart opened its doors in 1729, when Nicolas Ruinart had the vision of establishing the first Maison de Champagne. Since then he has sought to preserve his ancestral savoir-faire and carefully cultivate the land where his exceptional wines grow. The freshness of the Chardonnay grape is the hallmark of the Maison's spirit and is present in all its wines.
Ruinart Blanc de Blancs: Ruinart's emblematic cuvée
Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is made only with Chardonnay grapes from between 25 and 30 different Crus, mainly from the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, Sézannais and La Vallée de la Vesle. This cuvée epitomizes the Ruinart style: fresh, elegant and demanding. Its citrus, pineapple and cardamom notes are a delight for the senses, highlighting the richness of its heritage.
Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label: the signature of quality and style
The iconic yellow signature of the Maison Veuve Clicquot founded in 1772, Yellow Label, is a sublime expression of the art of champagne. With the predominance of Pinot Noir, complemented by Meunier and Chardonnay, this champagne balances freshness, strength, aromatic richness and silkiness.
With up to 45% reserve wines, Veuve Clicquot guarantees the continuity and quality of its style. Notes of white fruits, apple, pear and hints of dried fruits reveal the rich flavor palette of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label.
An incredible story, when Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, widowed at the age of 27, took the reins of her destiny and became one of the first modern businesswomen, and assumed the direction of the company with passion and determination.
As you have seen, this journey through the Champagne Maisons immerses us in a world of tradition, innovation and exquisiteness. Each bottle is an ode to the art of winemaking, a celebration of the land and time that give life to these bubbly wonders.
