RAISE YOUR GLASS

-

How good does a breezy brunch, long lunch or evening event sound? Whatever the meaningful moment, there’s a time-honoured way to celebrate in high style.

Late literary icon Oscar Wilde once proclaimed that only the unimaginat­ive can fail to find an occasion to celebrate with champagne, and more than a century later, we’re yet to prove the poet and playwright wrong. Moët & Chandon’s champagne is similarly steeped in history. From a fine French winery establishe­d in 1743, it’s been present at many a grand moment in time.

The festive season is on its way and a pop of champagne — best served chilled at no more and no less than 8–9°C — is an enduringly sophistica­ted way to farewell the year that was and herald the arrival of longer days, balmier weather and a fresh start.

In the company of your nearest and dearest, there’s no sound quite like the musical tinkle of clinking glasses and exuberant hurrahs to bring a smile to your face.

From starting your mid-morning in style with a champagne brunch to a twilight gathering, mark your summer occasion by raising a glass filled with Moët & Chandon, and make every precious moment a Moët moment — because together is a wonderful place to be.

CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH

Seize the day with your loved ones while awakening your senses with Moët Impérial’s sparkling fruity bouquet. Garnish the golden elixir with ripe strawberri­es and put food in keeping with its French birthplace on the menu, such as pastries and tartlettes.

SUNDOWN SOIRÉE

Salute the last of the sun after a long lunch by raising a twilight toast with friends and family. Pink with amber highlights, the vivacity and vibrancy of Moët Rosé Impérial will refresh your palate, while its optimistic effervesce­nce hints at many more celebratio­ns to come.

EVENING AFFAIR

For an after-dark affair that’s sure to impress, make a jaw-dropping statement with Moët Grand Vintage 2013 — or for those looking to elevate the experience, make it a magnum. Go Gatsby-style and pour Moët from the top of an artful tower of glass coupes on a table laden with an indulgent charcuteri­e-board spread.
