Champagne Moët & Chandon - Ice Imperial
Champagne - Champagne - semi-dry -Champagne Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial was specifically created to be enjoyed over ice. A Demi-Sec Champagne with intense fruit and a generous texture, it has greater richness and structure than a conventional Brut in order to remain balanced as the ice gradually melts. A distinctive cuvée particularly suited to warm weather and informal occasions.
Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial: tasting notes
Colour: deep, dense gold with attractive amber highlights.
Nose: immediately intense and fruity, dominated by ripe tropical and stone fruits including mango, guava and nectarine. Red-fruit, gentle spice and subtle vegetal nuances add further complexity.
Palate: broad, fleshy and generous, recalling fresh fruit salad, caramel and quince jelly. Grapefruit acidity, ginger and quinine bring freshness to the finish and balance the wine's natural sweetness.
40-50% Pinot Noir, 30-40% Meunier and 10-20% Chardonnay
The blend combines 40-50% Pinot Noir, 30-40% Meunier and 10-20% Chardonnay, together with 20-30% reserve wines. Pinot Noir provides structure and fruit intensity, Meunier brings richness and roundness, while Chardonnay contributes the acidity required to keep the finish fresh.
A Demi-Sec Champagne designed to be served over ice
With a dosage of 45 g/L, Ice Impérial is classified as Demi-Sec. This richness is deliberate: the Champagne is designed to retain sufficient fruit, texture and intensity after gradual dilution from the ice. It spends 18 months maturing in the cellar followed by at least 3 months after disgorgement.
How should Moët Ice Impérial be served?
Pour the Champagne into a large glass and add 3 large ice cubes. As they slowly melt, the texture changes and the wine's refreshing character becomes increasingly apparent. Large ice cubes are preferable as they melt more slowly and avoid excessive dilution.
Food pairing with Ice Impérial
Its generous yet refreshing profile works particularly well with summery, exotic or gently spiced food: ceviche, fish tartare, prawns, Asian-inspired dishes, tropical fruit and sweet-and-savoury combinations. Its Demi-Sec character also makes possible pairings that can be difficult with a conventional Brut Champagne.
12bouteilles recommendation
Do not approach Ice Impérial like a conventional Brut: the ice cubes are an integral part of the intended experience. Serve it in a generous glass with three large ice cubes and enjoy it relatively young, while its tropical fruit, generous texture and freshness are at their most expressive.

FAQ – Champagne Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial
How much does Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial cost?
Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial is priced at €49.90 for a 75cl bottle, the best price is €48,00 by 6 bottles. It is also available in a 1.5-litre magnum for €110 and a 3-litre jeroboam for €450.
Should you really add ice cubes to Moët Ice Impérial?
Yes. Ice Impérial was specifically created to be served over ice. Moët & Chandon recommends serving it in a large glass with 3 large ice cubes. Its richness, dosage and structure are deliberately designed to maintain balance as the ice gradually melts.
Is Moët Ice Impérial sweeter than Moët Brut Impérial?
Yes, significantly. Ice Impérial is a Demi-Sec Champagne with a dosage of 45 g/L, whereas Brut Impérial is a Brut dosed at 7 g/L. The additional sweetness is intentional: it compensates for dilution from the ice and allows the wine to retain its fruit intensity.
What is the difference between Moët Ice Impérial and Ice Impérial Rosé?
Both cuvées are designed to be served over ice, but their aromatic profiles are different. Ice Impérial focuses on tropical and yellow fruit, including mango, guava and nectarine. Ice Impérial Rosé places greater emphasis on red and dark fruit, including morello cherry, cranberry and raspberry.
Can Moët Ice Impérial be drunk without ice?
It can, but this is not the serving style for which the cuvée was designed. Without ice, its 45 g/L dosage and richness will appear considerably more pronounced. The gradual dilution provided by the ice softens the wine and highlights its refreshing character, explaining the unusual balance of the blend.
What food pairs well with Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial?
Its fruity Demi-Sec profile works particularly well with ceviche, fish tartare, prawns, gently spiced Asian dishes and sweet-and-savoury combinations. It can also accompany fresh or tropical fruit, although very sweet desserts are best avoided.
Should Moët Ice Impérial be cellared?
Ice Impérial is primarily intended to showcase vibrant fruit, generosity and immediate freshness rather than long-term bottle development. It is therefore best enjoyed relatively young, while its mango, guava, nectarine and grapefruit character remains particularly expressive.
