Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial Champagne, Marne Valley, Champagne, France: A gorgeous Champagne, with frothy mousse and persistent bubble. Aromas of brioche, golden apple and toast. Long, refreshing finish. Pair with shellfish. This sparkling wine is all about elegance and celebration. You'll find delicate notes of white stone fruit like peach and nectarine, hints of freshly baked bread, and a lovely citrus brightness that dances on your palate with those persistent, fine bubbles. I'd pair this with: butter-basted roasted turkey with golden, crackling skin that releases aromatic steam when you carve it, the meat tender and juicy beneath its herb-flecked exterior. chilled oysters on the half shell nestled in crushed ice, their briny liquor glistening, with a squeeze of fresh lemon that mingles with the ocean's essence. aged parmesan shards broken into craggy pieces, their crystalline texture providing satisfying crunch and deep, nutty umami that amplifies the champagne's complexity. crispy fried chicken with a shattering crust seasoned with paprika and garlic, the contrast of the rich, hot meat against cold champagne creating pure magic. salted caramel truffles with their smooth, glossy exteriors giving way to molten centers that balance sweet and savory in perfect harmony with the wine's fruit and acidity.
