Champagne Taittinger Nocturne Rose NV

Champagne, FranceLike a showy smart girl, the pink disco ball fizz impresses with its unexpected balance. Raspberry pie and brioche aromas carry through to the medium bodied palate. The 17.5 g/l of residual sugar gobbles up the acidity pretty well, leaving a flow of easy, foamy strawberry and pear in its wake. For the purists, this festive looking bottle is a blend of more than 35 crus from a various harvests that spend 48 months on its lees – the grape ratio is 40/35/25/ chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier and it gets a dosage of 18 g/l to smooth out all the edges.Tasted: 10 December 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:
