MOET&CHANDON FOR VALENTINES DAY

Love is in the air! Moët & Chandon noticed that too.

The champagne maker has teamed up with renowned French typography artist Alexis Taieb aka Tyrsa to create a romance filled limited edition Moët Impérial Rosé release named “Link Your Love Rose.” Taking inspiration from the iconic black-tie of the Moët bottle, Tysra created a special black-tie ribbon-like lettering for thepackaging. Moët has featured the new lettering across a range of Imperial Rosé gift packs that includes a gift box with two champagne glasses and a 750 ml bottle of Moët Impérial Rosé priced at €250. From the very little information available it seems this is a special limited edition only for the French market.

The palate is lively, structured and rigorous with a dynamic effervescence.
