According to the Wine Enthusiast: "The best-selling Champagne in the world has only recently been introduced to this country, replacing the White Star label. Moët maintains an impressive consistency with this lemon- and lime-flavored wine, smooth but crisp, and esay to drink." (12/09) According to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The NV Imperial is a straightforward, tasty Champagne made in a easygoing style, with good length and a clean, refreshing finish. And, according to Wine Spectator: "Just off-dry, showing apple, ginger and honey notes. Rich and soft, filling the finish with a clean, ginger aftertaste. Drink now."
The NV Imperial is a straightforward, tasty Champagne made in a easygoing style, with good length and a clean, refreshing finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.

My favorite all around champagne was Moet White Star. When the Concorde was still flying this was the Air France departure lounge champagne and I often liked it even better than the much more expensive champagnes served on the plane. I find Imperial much too dry with a slightly bitter aftertaste. It becomes much better when one puts several drops of simple sugar syrup in the glass before pouring the champagne. Most of my guests agree.
Tasting Notes color : pale yellow with shades of green.Aroma : subtly vinous, with a vine and lime blossom attack.Palate : delicate well-balanced ; leaves behind a sense of harmony, mellowness.
