Winemaker Notes
A new Taittinger cuvee that is dressed for a party.
Taittinger dedicates its new glittering, luminescent Nocturne Rose bottle to all occasions when celebrations continue into the night.Enliven magical gourmet moments...
Taittinger Nocturne Rose is a "Sec" champagne composed of Chardonnay (30%) and Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (70%). Blended from around thirty different vineyards from various vintages, this wine is laid down for four years to age before being disgorged.
The color is a bright, intense, flamboyant pink. Bubbles form a delicate cordon of fine foam. A full-bodied nose reveals delicious aromas of patisserie. On the palate the attack is clean and generous, while remaining very fresh. There are noticeable but very silky tannins. Taittinger Nocturne Rose is a structured, voluptuous wine that presents an elegant, well-integrated balanceof sugar, acid, and tannins.

Nice orchard fruits aromas beneath the sweetness. Sophisticated notes of strawberry, plum and verbena. Very impressive and incredibly seductive champagne. Blend : 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Meunier

Lots of candied cherries and berries. Full-bodied and easy. Fine bubbles and a fruity finish. More of a sec with a off-dry finish. Fun. Drink now.

This wine parallels the regular Nocturne in its blend and its balanced sweetness, the flavors running toward raspberry and crunchy cranberry fruit, lasting on smoke and spice. Finely made in a sweet style.
Champagne Taittinger was established in 1931 by Pierre Taittinger on the foundations of Forest-Forneaux, itself established in 1734 and the third-oldest wine producing house of Champagne. Taittinger is today proprietor of approximately 600 acres of vines among which are included parcels in the one hundred - percent rated villages of Cramant and Avize in the Cote des Blancs; and Bouzy, Mailly, Ambonnay and Verzenay in the Montagne de Reims. The Taittinger Estate is one of the three most extensive in the Champagne district, and the firm's major holdings in Chardonnay vineyards are the physical expression of the Taittinger philosophy and style.
