Consistently excellent, Moet et Chandon are one of the most successful Champagne houses in France. Interesting trivia: Moet is pronounced 'Moh-Et', and not Moh-Eh' due to the Germanic origins of the house's founders.
Fresh lemon and apple, supported by almond pastries, vanilla blossom and a hint of buttered brioche.

I gifted my Dad one of these - I thought I'd upgrade it from him usual bottle of prosecco and he loved it! Will definitely be purchasing again
clean, crisp, classic - much better than I remembered it!
I prefer the Nectar Imperial at the same price, but the Brut still does the job. I’ve drank 4 or 5 bottles of it. For some reason, the Brut lacks the consistency of Nectar Imperial. A couple bottles were just as good and a couple were more in the Taittinger or Piper class a level below. Even on its worst day, it is still a fine champagne.
For the winner of that title, look to Pol Roger NV. Moët has the name but Pol has the goods.
The M/C Brut Imperial I would rate as "best" in its price category, and if price is were the only object, one could no doubt do better. Life for the vast majority, however - and this is by no means confined the the "lower classes" - is usually a matter of balancing cost and value. Many products with high cost are not discernibly "better" - in any objective way - than those of more moderate price. My only disappointment with M/C was its apparent decision a few years back, to stop shipping this product to the U.S., shifting its sales, rather, to Asia - which is perhaps more profitable, and lines the pockets of fewer middlemen. This decision was nevertheless a bit snotty, considering who saved whose ass in the past two world wars - and the liklihood, moreover, of a third such occasion arising. In the meantime, hats off to Master of Malt for making the Brut Imperial available in the U.S.
