Description
Founded in 1743 by Claude Moët in Épernay, France, Moët & Chandon has become a leading name in the champagne market. Jean-Remy Moët, a descendant of the founder, acquired the former Hautvillers monastery in 1794, where the monk Dom Pérignon developed his pioneering champagne production techniques. This was a decisive step that further consolidated the quality and reputation of Moët & Chandon.
The association with historical figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte, a close friend of Jean-Remy Moët, helped to popularize the champagne on international campaigns and increased its popularity worldwide. Moët & Chandon always remained based in Épernay and became synonymous with high-quality champagne.
1987 marked another milestone when Moët Hennessy merged with Louis Vuitton to form the luxury goods group LVMH, now known worldwide for its exclusive products.
Moët Nectar Impérial by Moët & Chandon is the perfect synthesis of radiant fruitiness and elegant maturity. This champagne combines an impressive selection of over 100 wines, mainly from the Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay grape varieties, and thus offers a rich variety of aromas and profound intensity. After a careful ageing phase, the Nectar Impérial is bottled and sealed with a natural cork.
The Marquise de Pompadour once summed up the essence of champagne when she said: "Champagne is the only wine in the world that makes every woman beautiful." (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Intense golden hue in the glass. The nose is followed by a burst of exotic fruits such as pineapple and mango, as well as mirabelle plums and apricots and a hint of vanilla. Very lush on the palate, with a creamy liveliness of exotic fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, mirabelle plums and apricots. The freshness of grapefruit follows at the end. Long lasting finish.
Residual sugar: 45 g/l

This champagne is an excellent accompaniment to foie gras, salmon in a sweet and sour sauce, blue cheese, yellow exotic fruits, nougat and toffee, as well as Indian and Chinese dishes with nuts.
