Moët & Chandon Nectar Impérial Rosé is a demi-sec rosé Champagne from the house founded in Épernay in 1743, bottled at 12% ABV in a 187ml mini.
It is a sweeter style, with a dosage of 45 grams per litre that makes it fuller and rounder on the palate than a brut rosé.
It is a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.
Its aromas evoke the intense scarlet of redcurrants, pomegranate and strawberry jam, with peach and a hint of spice on the palate.
The single-serve mini, wrapped in pink foil with the signature black bow, is perfect for celebrations, gift baskets and a glass of bubbles for one.
Champagne can only come from the Champagne region of north-eastern France, and it gains its bubbles from a second fermentation in the bottle, the traditional method. Non-vintage cuvées are blended from several harvests so that each house can keep its signature style consistent from year to year, and they rest on their lees for at least fifteen months before release.

How to Enjoy It
Nectar Impérial Rosé is made for sweet pairings and festive serves. Enjoy it chilled on its own, or try it the Moët way, poured over ice with a few fresh berries or a slice of grapefruit. Its sweetness makes it a natural partner for fruit desserts, red berry tarts, macarons, panna cotta and lightly spiced Asian dishes. The 187ml mini is ideal for a toast, a gift basket or a party favour. Serve it well chilled in a flute or white-wine glass, and once opened reseal it with a sparkling-wine stopper and keep it in the fridge for a day or two. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
