Winemaker's Notes:

CHARACTERISTICS
Nectar Impèrial is the outcome of a special assemblage of the three grape varieties built around the structure of the Pinot Noir. It was designed to preserve the fresh taste of champagne while offering a subtle sweetness.

COMPONENTS
Approximately 200 individual crus make up this cuvèe. The traditional proportions for Nectar Impèrial are:
• 50-60% Pinot Noir
• 20-30% Pinot Meunier
• 10% Chardonnay
• 10-20% vins de réserve

COLOR
Deep golden

AROMA
Rich expression of ripe exotic fruits with hints of honey

STYLE
Strong fruitiness with a smooth finish.

About Moët & Chandon:

The largest Champagne house in France, Moët et Chandon was founded in 1743 by Claude Moët. They produce large volumes of non-vintage wine under the White Star and Brut Imperial designations, however, are best known for their premium brand Dom Pérignon.
