The word Imperial in the name of this libation is said to come from Napoleon Bonaparte. He is rumored to have been a fan of Moet and Chandon's sparkling wines during his time of rule in France. Beyond that, Moet and Chandon’s line of Imperial Champagnes is the brand’s line of signature drinks—and they are what most people expect when they pop open a bottle. The Imperial line is also the brand’s driest options - their dry nature comes from the small amount of sugar that is present in the beverage once it’s bottled and ready to pour.
