Proving their pioneering nature, in 2011 Mot & Chandon and Benot created Ice Imprial – a demi-sec Cuve deliberately produced to be served on the rocks.Mot Ice Imprial Blanc NV has been vinified by Benoit Gouez to retain the fruitiness, richness and freshness of its Brut counterpart when served on ice.

Benot Gouez recommends using three sizable ice cubes, and a large glass – preferably a Cabernet one – for perfect Ice Imprial serve, creating just the right ratio between water and wine.
