Moët & Chandon's Nectar Impérial is a luscious, demi-sec expression of Champagne, designed to offer a richer and sweeter profile while maintaining the house's signature elegance. Historically, sweeter Champagnes were the preferred style of the 19th-century European courts, particularly in Russia and France, where high dosage was celebrated. Nectar Impérial revives this indulgent tradition. It is crafted from a classic blend of Pinot Noir for structure, Pinot Meunier for fleshy roundness, and Chardonnay for crisp acidity, incorporating reserve wines to ensure consistency. The generous dosage creates a velvety texture bursting with exotic fruits, stone fruits, and a hint of sweet spice, balanced by a refreshing bead of acidity.
