The Opposite of Krug

Moet & Chandon
Nectar Imperial
35.00
Jen's Notes

This pale gold Champagne exhibits tiny, persistent bubbles. It is quite aromatic, including scents of graphite, honeysuckle, and stone fruits. As the name might suggest, this is a much sweeter style of Champagne, although this quality is balanced by fresh acidity and M&C's hallmark steeliness on the finish. On the palate, it is lush and creamy, boasting flavors of banana, nutmeg and mango, with a layer of minerality underneath. Though we certainly enjoy the drier sparkling wines as well, this wine is a delightful change of pace.
