Taittinger Champagne NOCTURNE ROSÉ Sec City Nights Edition 12,5% Vol. 0,75l

Champagne Taittinger is a world-renowned champagne house that has been family-owned since 1734. To this champagne house belong 260 hectares of vineyards. The house is located in Saint-Nicaise in Rems, in the chalk cellar the champagnes mature 18 meters under the earth. This cellar dates back to Roman times.

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimum ripeness and pressed very carefully in their entirety directly on site and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. For four years, the rosé champagne matures on the fine lees in the cool, deep, dark chalk cellars. By regularly shaking and turning the bottle (until it is finally upside down), the lees gradually slide into the neck of the bottle. Then follows the degorgation to remove the yeast.

Tasting notes:

Bright pink in the glass. In the bouquet juicy red fruits like currants and cherries, notes of freshly baked brioche and toasted bread. On the palate fresh, full-bodied with red berries. Silky tannin gives a smooth structure. Perfectly balanced with lively freshness and delicate residual sweetness. Long lasting in the finish.

Grape varieties: 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay.
Soil: limestone, brie limestone, belemnite chalk, marl, sand, clay.
Residual sugar: 17,5 g/l.
Drinking temperature: 8-10°C.

This Taittinger goes with every disco night, is the perfect nightcap at dawn and tastes very good with tapas and party snacks with ham, roast beef and spicy mini toast. But it also goes perfectly with dessert with fresh wild berries, crepes, fruit cake and chocolate desserts.
