Taittinger's Nocturne Rosé is a 'Sec' Champagne designed to evoke the magic of the night. It is crafted from a blend of Chardonnay (around 30%) and Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (around 70%), with a portion of still red wine from the best crus of Champagne added to achieve its brilliant color. The slow cellar aging of several years on the lees brings a velvety texture that balances its higher dosage of around 17.5 grams per liter. The Taittinger family, who established their house in Reims in the early 20th century, created this cuvée as an homage to nocturnal celebrations, blending the elegance of traditional Champagne craftsmanship with a modern, festive spirit.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1932 when Pierre Taittinger acquired the historic Forest-Fourneaux house founded in 1734, Champagne Taittinger is one of the few remaining family-owned and operated Champagne houses based in Reims, France. The house is celebrated for its extensive Gallo-Roman chalk cellars, known as crayères, which provide the perfect aging conditions for their elegant, Chardonnay-dominant cuvées. Taittinger's signature style is defined by lightness, finesse, and mineral precision, epitomized by their legendary prestige cuvée, Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs, alongside their classic Brut Réserve and the artistic Taittinger Collection.
