Notes | |||
"Nectar Impérial is the boldest and most unexpected Moët & Chandon champagne. It reflects the diversity and complementarities of the three champagne grapes and the richness of the region's best vineyards to reveal the magic of the world's most loved champagne. Lively and generous, Nectar Impérial distinguishes itself by its tropical fruitiness, its richness on the palate, and its crisp finish that instantly surprise and delight." —winemaker Blend: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"A good benchmark for a sweeter Champagne. In fact, not extravagantly sweet, because the fruit remains fresh, giving pear and apricot flavors, and a pure line in fresh acidity." —Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
"Yellow-gold with a faint peach skin tinge. Peach, nectarine and spun sugar on the nose. Lush, creamy flavors of sweet pit fruits and melon are deepened by notes of honey and nougat. A touch of orange peel lifts this sappy, off-dry wine, which finishes on a slightly syrupy note. This is easier to drink and less cloying than many examples of sweet Champagne." —Stephen Tanzer, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar "A soft, sweet, dessert-style Champagne with easy flavors of pear, vanilla and almond that linger on the finish. Drink now." —Wine Spectator |
