Nectar Imperial Rose is the newest and most extravagant Moet & 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. A lightly sweet rose, displaying cherry Life Saver, ginger and honey notes. Open and airy in texture, yet smooth, lingering nicely on the finish.--Winemakers Note
Moët & Chandon Description
Golden straw yellow with green highlights. The vibrant intensity of green apple and citrus fruit.The freshness of mineral nuances and white flowers. The elegance of blond notes (brioche, cereal, fresh nuts). The delicious sumptuousness of white-fleshed fruits (pear, peach, apple). The alluring caress of fine bubbles. The soft vivacity of citrus fruit and nuances of gooseberry.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
A rich note of grilled nut meets flavors of Asian pear, preserved lemon and mineral on the palate of this creamy Champagne, driven by a firm streak of refreshing acidity.

Light, bright yellow. Musky pear and toasty lees on the nose and in the mouth. Fleshy and open-knit, with a hint of bitter lemon pith adding back-end cut. Finishes on a gently smoky note, with very good cling and focus and a hint of bitter quinine. This must be the best example of this bottling that I've had in years, if not decades. In the past the Imperial Brut received a dosage of 12 g/l, but no more; in fact, there's talk that in the near future it may be dropped down as far as 7 g/l.
Wine Enthusiast: 89 Points
Worldwide still the biggest-selling Champagne (28 million bottles a year), this well-made wine is ripe and full of fruit. Produced under the direction of chef de cave Benoît Gouez (Wine Enthusiast Winemaker of Year in 2013), it has flavors of almonds and toast, with crisp acidity. The aftertaste brings grapefruit freshness.
