Because we live in a hot country, Filipinos love to put ice in anything that we drink. Sometimes we are judged for this because it dilutes the flavor, especially with drinks like beer and wine. (“But I want it to be cold!”) With the recent release of Moët Ice Impérial Rosé, no rules will be broken because you can finally add ice to your champagne flutes to enjoy a bubbly rosé.
Moët Ice Impérial Rosé is an addition to the Moët Ice Impérial portfolio that was actually released a few years ago. Somehow, it didn’t become popular. Last May, the pink bubbly was rereleased and made available only during the summer season at select global hotspots.
Chef de Cave for Moët & Chandon says, “Moët Ice Impérial Rosé is an innovative new example of Moët & Chandon’s champagne ‘on ice’ savoir-faire, and gives an experience that is intensely fruity and rich in the mouth, with a distinctly crisp and fresh finish.”
If it’s anything like the first Ice Impérial, we’re guessing this bottle is an easy-to-drink champagne, with sweet notes leveled due to the addition of three rocks of ice to your cabernet-style glass. It’s not a bottle created for savoring Champagne notes but rather a refreshing drink that is perfect for a summer party by the pool.
Moët Ice Impérial Rosé has fruity bouquet fragrant scents of red berries and cherries (Morello cherry, lingonberry, cranberry), with nuances of juicy summer fruits (fig, nectarine) and an appetizing note of grenadine, with a refreshing finish of pink grapefruit.
