Tasting Notes
Aroma
The subtle and delicate bouquet reveals the delightful aromas of yellow
peaches and dried apricots.
Appearance
The body is pale yellow in colour with shimmering highlights.
The bubbles form a delicate ring of fine foam.
Palate
The entry is smooth and creamy, yet very crisp.The palate gives way to flavours of raisins and
fruits in syrup.The long and smooth finish is distinctively sweet and full of flavour. A mature, rich and round wine, Nocturne is
also exceptionally smooth and creamy.
Vinification
Taittinger Nocturne is a “Sec” champagne composed of
Chardonnay (40%) and Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (60%).
Blended from around thirty different vineyards from various
vintages, this wine is laid down for four years to age before
being disgorged. A 17.5g/l dosage of sugar cane combined
with the slow cellar-ageing create a round and smooth
champagne that is perfect to enjoy late in the evening.
Food Matching
Taittinger Nocturne is a champagne to be enjoyed at the end
of an evening. It is the perfect accompaniment to dessert or
foie gras on gingerbread – and will gladly have champagne
lovers celebrating all night long.
