The largest Champagne house in France, founded in 1743 by Claude Moët. Interesting Moet created Ice Imperial to be enjoyed on ice. Deep yellow with tropical fruit aromas and citrus notes. On the palate peach and raspberry flavors with underlying sweetness, nice acidity ending with earthy citrus notes. Tasting Sample. — 3 years ago

Amber in color with a brown hue.
Sweet nose with cherries, overripe apples, oranges, honey, apricots, lemons, honeysuckle and Indian spices.
Full-bodied with high acidity and fat legs.
Sweet on the palate with apples, apricots, ripe pears, light black tea, herbs, light earth, Indian spices and chocolates.
Long finish with honey and spices.
This is a gorgeous Ice Wine made from Cabernet Franc grapes. Very complex at this point, engaging and interesting.
This 9 year old is nicely aged, sweet and delicious, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Well balanced, sweet and easy drinking. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and entertaining.
A great dessert wine, and good by itself.
Drank from a 375ml bottle.
11.5% alcohol by volume.
95 points.

The Rich gets a boost with a higher dosage (60g/l sugar). A blend of 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier & 25% Chardonnay. Concentrated fresh red berry aromas. On the palate big ripe stone and tropical fruit notes with flavors of pineapple & citrus, vivid acidity on long sweet finish. Interesting almost a Demi-Sec, meant to be served on ice with one ingredient, try a mimosa! — 3 years ago
So syrupy and sweet. Great with banana ice cream. Not my favorite dessert beverage but super complex and interesting through the sweetness. — 8 months ago

Forgot to save my thorough notes(!!!). From memory - the nose hits you with overt apricot, fresh figs, lots of nuts (including pistachio ice cream), and a bit of faint tangerine. It tastes like a pastry - almonds, sugar, coconut cream, apricot, cookies and cakes and dessert oh my. Finished with honeycomb. Very different than the Sauternes I am accustomed to, but very good. 93. — 3 years ago
