Impérial Brut

Blind guess was either a crémant or some crowd-pleasing champagne - not far off. Green apple, brioche, a hint of honey, clean citrus. Decent stuff, a bit too cloying for my taste. But look, it's easy to bash Moët, and boring to do so. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a glass or two of this. It does what it promises and does it competently.

Haha, we had to open two bottles because the first was one tired from short ageing (hopefully, not in someone's car). Wafting with scents of honey made by zombees (hehe) and red apple, it was not sexy at all. The red lipstick is there, but the wicked boggy body is a turn-off. With the second bottle, we travelled 80 years to the past. And it was as you would expect it to be. A crowd-pleasing and tasty. If only the price was better haha.

P.S. The rate represents the arithmetic mean of the two bottles.

Tasted blind. Didn't guess (that's actually my first Moët & Chandon), but it's funny to read my drunken notes. Highly typical traditional sparkling (probably Champagne) made to please the crowd. I would drink it while playing FFXIV (even during raids). Objectively it's well made (hence the score).

On a more serious note, I understand now why people drink this wine. It's friendly (both in the nose and on the palate), not demanding, and you have CHAMPAGNE on the label.
