Just in time for 2013, J. Wray & Nephew Limited is prereleasing 25 cases of Moët Ice Impérial, the world's first champagne, specially developed for warm climates like Jamaica.

Faithful to Moët and Chandon's tradition of innovation, Moët Ice Impérial reflects a new frontier in champagne, delivering the new sensations of crisp freshness and powerful tropical fruit aromas, and offering a unique, fun-filled experience for chic, sunny, exclusive, social gatherings.

According to Debbian Spence-Minott, marketing manager for imported wines and spirits at J. Wray & Nephew, with the launch of Moët Ice Impérial, Moët and Chandon has created a new way to drink champagne. "Moët Ice Impérial's has been created specifically to be served on ice and enjoyed during the daytime. It should be served in large cabernet-style glasses and can be garnished with mint leaves, a slice of cucumber or grapefruit zest, according to taste preferences.

"We will be officially launching Moët Ice Impérial in Jamaica in early 2013, but thought that the Christmas season, with all the social gatherings that take place, would be the perfect time to give Jamaicans a sneak peak into the latest offering from the house of Moët and Chandon."

Packaged in a luxurious white lacquered bottle with a black tie, gold label and silver design that revamps industry conventions, Moët Ice Impérial exemplifies Moët and Chandon's elegance, glamour and pioneering nature.
