Moët & Chandon x Pharell Williams Impérial Brut

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Crisp, celebratory, and effortlessly polished, Moët & Chandon x Pharrell Williams Impérial Brut is a French Champagne made for lively gatherings, elegant toasts, and stylish gifting. With 12% ABV, it follows classic Champagne production, using a traditional sparkling wine method and a balanced blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay from France.

Expect bright citrus, green apple, pear, white flowers, and subtle brioche, lifted by fine bubbles and a clean mineral finish. Its freshness is excellent with Oysters, where the saline bite sharpens the Champagne’s citrus edge, and it also pairs beautifully with Sushi, especially clean, delicate pieces like tuna, salmon, or scallop.

Producer Information: Moët & Chandon

Moët & Chandon is based in Épernay, in the Champagne region of northeastern France. The house was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët, who helped build its reputation by supplying sparkling wine to aristocratic and royal circles across Europe. Its production approach centers on large-scale Champagne blending, drawing from extensive vineyard holdings and long-term grower relationships across the region. The house works mainly with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, using méthode champenoise, cellar aging, and reserve wines to maintain consistency across non-vintage releases while allowing vintage bottlings to reflect specific harvest conditions.

The Moët & Chandon range includes labels such as Brut Impérial, Rosé Impérial, Ice Impérial, Nectar Impérial, and Grand Vintage, each designed for a different sweetness level, serving style, or occasion. While the house itself is focused on Champagne rather than beer or distilled spirits, it sits within the Moët Hennessy division of LVMH, a group connected to Cognac, whisky, vodka, tequila, rum, and other luxury beverage categories. This gives the brand a wider commercial context within fine wine and premium drinks, even though its own identity remains firmly tied to Champagne production in Épernay.
