✨ Technical Specifications
Moët & Chandon, established in 1743 by Claude Moët, has long been synonymous with celebration, famously favored by historical figures like Madame de Pompadour and Napoleon Bonaparte. The N.I.R. (Nectar Impérial Rosé) Sec represents a vibrant, contemporary chapter in this storied house's history, crafted specifically to offer an intense, off-dry profile. This cuvée is built on a structured blend dominated by Pinot Noir (typically 45% to 55%, with a portion vinified as red wine to impart its deep copper-pink hue), complemented by the roundness of Pinot Meunier and the elegance of Chardonnay. Aged in the house's extensive chalk cellars, this Champagne balances a generous dosage characteristic of the 'Sec' style with lively acidity, resulting in a rich, fruit-forward palate of wild strawberry, red currant, and a hint of warm spice.
