The term “Nectar” in the world of M\u00e9thode Cap Classique denotes a Demi-Sec<\/b> style. While it undergoes the same rigorous bottle-fermentation and aging process as a Brut\u2014including months of maturation on the lees (yeast)\u2014a slightly higher “dosage” is added before the final corking. This results in a wine that feels richer and more velvety on the tongue, without losing the vibrant acidity that makes Darling Cellars wines so world-class.<\/p>\nTasting Profile & Sensory Experience<\/b><\/h3>\n
