Taittinger : Nocturne Rosé City Lights

A beautifully balanced Champagne wine

The producer

The history of the Taittinger Champagne House began in the early 20th century. Ran by Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and his two children, Clovis and Vitalie, the Taittinger House has managed to preserve its family spirit by producing champagnes that are resolutely Chardonnay in style. Since January 1st 2020, Vitalie Taittinger is the President of the Taittinger Champagne House.

The vineyard

The vineyards owned by the Taittinger Champagne House spread across 288 hectares of vines and include 37 different crus. This makes Taittinger the third largest vineyard in Champagne. The entire vineyard bears a High Environmental Value certificate.

The wine

The Nocturne City Lights Rosé is a limited edition cuvée by Taittinger. It has been aged for 4 years in the cellar and is now a smooth and round champagne, perfect as an evening pour.

The blend

This limited edition is a dry champagne made from a blend of 30% Chardonnay, 70% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, 15% of which is still red wine.

Taittinger's Nocturne City Lights Rosé: Characteristics and tasting tips

The tasting

Colour

Taittinger's Nocturne City Lights Rosé has an intense and flamboyant pink colour. The bubbles delicately rise to a pleasant foam and boast a beautiful finesse.

Nose

The nose is rather full-bodied and gives off delicious pastry fragrances.

Palate

The palate is frank, generous and fresh, sustained by very silky tannins. A wine with a beautiful structure, voluptuous, and asserting itself by a magnificent balance between sugar, acidity and tannins.
