Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial with Diamond Suit NV (750ML)

92 WS / 90 VM / 90 JS

"The minerally undertow imparts a subtle, smoky note that blends with flavors of dried pineapple, biscuit, salted almond and white peach. A balanced version, with a fine bead and well-honed acidity. Drink now through 2018." — Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator

"Light, bright yellow. Musky pear and toasty lees on the nose and in the mouth. Fleshy and open-knit, with a hint of bitter lemon pith adding back-end cut. Finishes on a gently smoky note, with very good cling and focus and a hint of bitter quinine. This must be the best example of this bottling that I've had in years, if not decades." — Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media

Strong lemon, grapefruit and peach fruit aromas are on offer here. This is upfront and fresh on the nose. The palate has forward fruit in the same vein. Tangy, tropical finish. Drink now. - James Suckling
