Moët Imperial 2025
They say paint the town red, but we feel like spraying it red with Moet & Chandon’s limited-edition Imperial 2025 champagne. Drawing once again on the art of joie de vivre, the champagne is dressed in red for the festive season, signalling joy, love, and sharing. Just like that, we too, feel like sharing in the joy around the table with a round of Moet & Chandon champagne.
Available in Malaysia from 1 November 2025 onwards, at selected outlets.
