90 points from wine critic James Suckling<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Mo\u00ebt & Chandon Ice Imp\u00e9rial is a striking champagne specially made to be drunk with ice. While classic champagne is served chilled without ice, Ice Imp\u00e9rial deliberately opts for a richer, fruitier, and slightly rounder style. As a result, the champagne remains well-balanced even after the ice has melted.<\/p>\n The blend consists of the three classic Champagne grapes: Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay. Pinot Noir provides structure and ripe fruit. Meunier ensures roundness and smoothness. Chardonnay brings freshness and elegance.<\/p>\n On the nose, Mo\u00ebt & Chandon Ice Imp\u00e9rial is ripe, expressive, and sunny. You smell tropical fruits such as mango and guava, complemented by peach, nectarine, and citrus. On the palate, the champagne is full-bodied, fruity, and refreshing.<\/p>\n Ice Imp\u00e9rial is a demi-sec champagne. This means that it tastes distinctly softer and rounder than a classic brut champagne. Yet, the wine does not become heavy or sticky. Serving it with ice gives the champagne extra freshness in the glass.<\/p>\n Serve Mo\u00ebt Ice Imp\u00e9rial well chilled in a large wine glass. First pour in the champagne and then add three large ice cubes. This helps preserve the bubbles better. You can drink the champagne neat, or garnish it with mint, citrus zest, cucumber, or red fruit.<\/p>\n Mo\u00ebt Ice Imp\u00e9rial pairs well with light, summery dishes and fruity combinations. Think of shellfish, sushi, ceviche, fruit salads, strawberries, mango, light desserts, or a refreshing charcuterie board.<\/p>\n The combination also works well with spicy Asian appetizers. The soft dosage beautifully balances the spices, while the ice provides freshness and balance.<\/p>\nWhat does Mo\u00ebt Ice Imp\u00e9rial taste like?<\/h3>\n
