Robert Parker

Antonio Galloni

The NV Sec Nocturne offers good depth and richness in a soft, accessible style with good overall complexity and a round, generous personality. Admittedly, I am not a fan of Sec Champagnes, but this is a fine effort in its category. Disgorged: mid-June 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2009–2012. Importer: Kobrand Corp., Purchase, NY; tel. (914) 253-7756

Bruce Sanderson

Soft and off-dry, displaying peach and honey flavors backed by an underlying grapefruit accent. Drink now.

Decanter

Warm baked bread on the nose, round and creamy fruit dessert on the palate. Slightly sweet and floral.

Delicious, fruity, generous, intense, with plenty of nerve and voluptuousness!

Wine Enthusiast

Roger Voss

Designed as a party Champagne with its soft, lightly sweet character, Nocturne is well balanced. Just enough acidity contrasts with the ripe fruit and delicate texture. The wine is ready to drink.

Description

Characteristics and tasting notes for Taittinger Nocturne

Tasting

Appearance
Pale yellow color with shimmering reflections.

Nose
The subtle and delicate nose exhales fragrances of yellow peaches and dried apricots.

Palate
The palate shows suppleness and smoothness with magnificent freshness. Notes of dried grapes and fruits in syrup can be detected. The beautifully long finish offers a gentle touch. A suave and smooth wine, with splendid maturity, showing richness and roundness.

A smooth and delicate champagne

The estate

The story of the Champagne Taittinger House began at the start of the 20th century. Led by Pierre-Emmanuel Taittinger and his two children, Clovis and Vitalie, the Taittinger House has maintained a family spirit by producing champagnes resolutely oriented towards a chardonnay style. Since January 1, 2020, Vitalie Taittinger has been President of the Champagne Taittinger House.

The vineyard

The vineyard extends over 288 hectares of vines and includes 37 different Champagne crus. Taittinger is thus the third largest vineyard in the region. The entire vineyard is certified with High Environmental Value.

The wine

This Nocturne cuvée is made from a selection of around thirty different crus from several harvests. Aged at least 4 years on laths before being disgorged, this champagne dosed at 17.5g/l combines roundness and smoothness.

Blend

Pinot noir (60%) and chardonnay (40%).
