Wine Spectator

Alison Napjus

Strawberry purée and orange sorbet flavors are laced with accents of pickled ginger, smoke and pineapple pâte de fruit in this creamy version. Bright and balanced, with a lip-smacking finish. Drink now. 400 cases imported.

Decanter

Dried fruits, sweet strawberry, rustic. Pink apple skin, blood orange, sourdough, balanced sweetness and acidity, rich, concentrated.

James Suckling

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

A blend dominated by Pinot Noir gives this ripe, pink rosé its rich character. It is soft with some sweetness from the high dosage that makes it immediately accessible and easy to drink. In its cheerful bottle, it is definitely a party wine.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Stephan Reinhardt

The intensely salmon-colored NV Nocturne Rosé Sec (City Lights) blends 30% Chardonnay with 70% Pinot Noir, sourced from 30 crus. The pink Nocturne comes across as a medium-bodied and medium-dry Champagne that opens with clear and aromatic cherry fruit and some floral aromas on the nose. Very elegant and round on the palate, this sparkling wine has a nice structure and a fresh finish. It drinks very well as an aperitif and certainly as a late-night wine, which is its main focus, obviously. (Tasted in November 2017 from L6380OT00500.)

Description

Characteristics and tasting tips for Taittinger Nocturne Rosé

Tasting

Colour
A radiant pink with intense highlights, this champagne captivates with its vibrancy. A fine effervescence forms a delicate ring of mousse, promising finesse and elegance.

Nose
Generous and fleshy, the bouquet reveals delicious notes of pastry.

Palate
The attack is both clean and broad, carried by remarkable freshness. The structure is well defined, supported by exceptionally soft tannins. Altogether, this is a rosé champagne that is at once voluptuous, structured and harmonious.

The precision and creaminess of a rosé champagne

The estate

The story of the Champagne Taittinger house began in the early 20th century. Led by Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and his two children, Clovis and Vitalie, Maison Taittinger has preserved its family spirit, producing champagnes with a distinctly Chardonnay-driven style. Since 1 January 2020, Vitalie Taittinger has been President of the Champagne Taittinger house.

The vineyard

The Champagne Taittinger vineyard covers 288 hectares of vines and comprises 37 different crus. Taittinger thus owns the third-largest vineyard in Champagne. The entire vineyard is certified High Environmental Value.

The cuvée

Crafted from some thirty different crus, "Nocturne" is a rosé champagne which, thanks to long ageing of four years in the cellar, elegantly expresses the great terroirs of Champagne.

Blend

Pinot Noir (70%) and Chardonnay (30%). The final blend includes 15% still red wine, made from a rigorous selection of Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Les Riceys.
