Moí«t et Chandon "Imperial"


Recommended Posts


The wine list at Cafe du Parc is a shadow of what it used to be. There are now exactly four wines priced under $40 - last night, one of them was a Loire Valley sparkling Blanc de Blancs that they were out of when I tried to order it. I asked if there was a substitute, and my server said no. That made the least expensive sparkler on the menu an eye-popping $60 for a run-of-the-mill Crémant de Bourgogne. Want the "pleasure" (*) of Moí«t et Chandon "White Star?" That will set you back $95 (**).

White Star has been renamed Imperial.

White Star has been renamed Imperial.

FWIW, it's labeled White Star (and misspelled) on their menu.

I thought that it was a new wine as opposed to a rebranding, Imperial is a Brut (or so says the bottle), while White Star was Extra Dry.

It is a new wine, although it's a quasi-rebranding since they discontinued the old one at the same time (I wonder if the wholesale price increased during the changeover).
