Details
Taittinger Nocturne
Produced by the prestigious Maison Taittinger, Taittinger Nocturne is an exquisite non-vintage Champagne from Reims.
A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with a 40% Chardonnay, this Champagne is sourced from over 35 Cru vineyards scattered across the region and farmed following sustainable techniques.
This NV Champagne was crafted blending 30 wines from several vintages. Traditionally vinified, after going through secondary fermentation in the bottle Taittinger Nocturne was aged for 48 months minimum. Then it was added cane sugar (in a proportion of 17 grams per litre), as a result of which it is classified as Champagne sec.
Enjoy without food or throughout a multi-course dinner.
