New Stocks. Price £195.00. UK Exclusive Listing at ChampagneDirect.co.uk. Taittinger Nocturne Jeroboam   Tasting Notes: A pale yellow colour with shimmering highlights. The bubbles form a delicate necklace of fine mousse. The nose is subtle and fresh, suggestive of the delightful aromas of white blossom and ripe fruit, with overtones of yellow peaches and dried apricots. The first impression on the palate is soft and mellow and remains very fresh. It is dominated by flavours reminiscent of raisins and fruit in syrup. The aftertaste is long and soft with a subtle sweetness. All in all it is rounded, rich and well balanced. The style of Nocturne makes it ideal for enjoying before, during and after dinner. Grape Variety: 30% Pinot Noir, 30 Pinot Meunier, 40% Chardonnay Dosage – 20g/l Ageing – 4 years on the lees Background Information: Taittinger Nocturne is a “Sec” Champagne made from 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The finished blend includes over 35 “crus” from several different harvests. The wine is aged on its lees for at least 4 years before being “disgorged”. A dosage of 20g of cane sugar per litre is then added. This dosage is twice that of Taittinger Brut Reserve NV and half of Taittinger Demi Sec.
