WINE MAKING PROCESS
Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial Demi-Sec is produced using the Méthode Traditionnelle, involving primary fermentation followed by a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The blend typically includes 40-50% Pinot Noir, 30-40% Pinot Meunier, and 10-20% Chardonnay, often incorporating a significant proportion of reserve wines. The wine undergoes aging for at least 18 months on its lees, with an additional minimum of 3 months post-disgorgement. The dosage is set at 45 grams per liter, classifying it as demi-sec. A key innovation is its design for serving over ice.
