Lemon curd and glazed apricot notes mix with hints of biscuit, black raspberry and smoky mineral in this lightly creamy version, offering a lively bead and well-cut acidity. Drink now through 2018. –AN

The NV Imperial is a straightforward, tasty Champagne made in a easygoing style, with good length and a clean, refreshing finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010. <br/><br/>Moet & Chandon is one of Champagne’s giants when it comes to the sheer number of bottles that emerge from its cellars each year. The house’s top wine, Dom Perignon, is quite possibly the most iconic wine in Champagne, and perhaps the world. Production numbers are always kept close to the vest, but that notwithstanding, it is impossible to ignore the exceptional quality that the best vintages offer. At its best Dom Perignon is also an extremely ageworthy wine. In recent years Chef de Caves Richard Geoffroy has instituted a program of re-releasing newly disgorged wines under the OEnotheque program. Younger vintages see a second release (also known as second plenitude), while some of the older, classic vintages from the 1970s are on their third release (also known as third plenitude). While the OEnotheques, particularly the third releases, can be very pricey, at their finest they offer an extraordinary,otherworldly drinking experience matched by few wines in the world. Although Moet & Chandon doesn't disclose disgorgement dates, Geoffroy is considering adding that information in the near future. <br/>
Producer
Moët & Chandon
In many ways the name, Moët Et Chandon is synonymous with Champagne. One of the largest, and not to mention, the most popular of Champagne houses, Moët Et Chandon has now become a household name. The house was founded by Claude Moët in 1743, and today, the winery continues to pride themselves on the success and glamour that their wines add to each and every celebration. The house produces multiple Champagnes including Brut Impérial and Brut Impérial Rosé, as well as a Brut Grand Vintage and Brut Grand Vintage Rosé, not to mention the newer Ice Impérial. While the Brut Impérial Champagne represents their iconic style and is produced from more than 100 different wines, Ice Impérial is a Moët Champagne that is designed to maintain its quality when poured over ice. This historic house is currently owned by the luxury goods company, LVMH, Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A.
