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 cemented 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 publicise 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 recognised 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 flavours 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."

Tasting Note

Intense golden colour in the glass. On the nose there is a burst of exotic fruits such as pineapple and mango, as well as mirabelle plums and apricots and a hint of vanilla. The palate is very lush, with a creamy vibrancy of exotic fruits such as mangoes, pineapple, mirabelle plums and apricots. This is followed by the freshness of grapefruit. Long and persistent on the finish.
