The Taittinger Nocturne Sec Champagne is pale yellow in colour with delicate fine mousse, its nose is subtle, fresh and reminiscent of white blossom and ripe fruit, with overtones of yellow peaches and dried apricots. On the palate it is soft, fresh and mellow with delicate floral and ripe fruit flavours. The aftertaste is long and soft with a subtle sweetness. All in all it is rounded, rich and well balanced.

The style of Nocturne is ideal for before, during and after dinner.

It is aged for 4 years in the lees. Taittinger Nocturne is a Sec Champagne made from 40% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier. The finished blend includes over 35 “crus” from several different harvests. The wine is aged on its lees for at least 4 years before being “disgorged”. A dosage of 20g of cane sugar per litre is then added. This dosage is twice that of Brut Reserve NV and half of Demi Sec wines.
