About Moët & Chandon: Excellence in Effervescence Since 1743
Hailing from Épernay in the heart of the Champagne region, trader Claude Moët began shipping his wine to Paris under the name Moët et Cie in 1743. As the demand for sparkling wine skyrocketed among the nobles and aristocrats, so did Moët’s popularity.
Over the decades, the prestigious Champagne house remained in the family, led by Claude’s grandson Remy Moët. Remy brought his son-in-law, Pierre-Gabriel Chandon de Briailles, into the fold in 1833, hence the Moët & Chandon name.
To this day, Moët & Chandon celebrates life’s memorable moments with a range of unique champagnes for every occasion. But while versatile, every single bottle still exhibits the brand’s distinctive style, thanks to centuries of expertise.

Featured Wines on the Moët & Chandon Dinner Menu
For our last TasteMaker dinner of 2024, sip on a curated collection of four sparkling selections and feast on five chef-inspired Ruth’s Chris courses:
Amuse Bouche: L’Atelier Rouge Champagne Cocktail
Our wine dinner begins boldly with a cocktail of Moët Imperial and Atelier Vie red absinthe. This fizzy, botanical concoction brings out the flavors of our crostini: an herbed toasted baguette topped with goat cheese, apricot, crushed walnut, and fresh chives.
First Course: Moët Imperial
Up next, experience the greatness of the flagship Moët Imperial all on its own. A vibrant bouquet, sumptuous white fruit flavors, and an elegant mouthfeel indulge the senses. In between sips, cut into our croquette filled with brandade—a rich Mediterranean spread of flaky salted cod and potato purée—and drizzled with citron oil and tartar sauce.
Second Course: Moët Imperial Rosé
The iconic Imperial gets a romantic red fruit update, while still embodying the Moët & Chandon style of brightness, seductive palate, and elegant maturity. At Ruth’s Chris, we’ve paired it with an equally amorous dish of butter-poached lobster in a truffle and caviar sauce. (Chef kiss!)
Main Course: Moët Grand Vintage 2015
Each Grand Vintage at Moët & Chandon expresses the cellar master’s interpretation of the year, and the 76th vintage of 2015 is certainly one for the books. In his eyes, Grand Vintage 2015 demonstrates intensity followed by light. Powerful fruit flavors from a top-tier harvest of red-skinned grapes give way to fresh, floral nuances on the finish.
Of course, this awakening wouldn’t be complete without a Ruth’s Chris filet! We’ve finished this one with a Champagne-roquefort crust, accompanied by fondant potatoes and ratatouille.
Dessert Course: French Apple Tart
Last but not least, our dinner ends on a sweet note with an apple tart, dressed with an apricot glaze, vanilla bean ice cream, and caramel tuile served alongside our signature coffee and tea service.
