Champagne Taittinger Nocturne Sec NV

Description

Champagne Taittinger Nocturne Sec is an exceptional “Sec” champagne made from 40% Chardonnay and 35% Pinot Noir and 25% Pinot Meunier. The finished blend includes over 35 “crus” from several different harvests, perfectly matured. Approximately 50% of the the grapes from the Taittinger estate with some coming from their prestige vineyards at Chateau de la Marquetterie. The wine is aged on lees for at least 4 years before being “disgorged”. A dosage of 20 g of cane sugar per litre is then added. This dosage, combined with the rounded quality and maturity of this wine, gives it a highly distinctive body and smoothness, making it the perfect champagne to be enjoyed late in the evening. The dosage is 17.5 g/L (compared with around 9 g/L for a Brut Champagne).
