Nocturne Rosé sleeve

Nocturne Rosé is the pink version of Taittinger's Cuvée Nocturne and is made for long evenings. The bottle comes in a pink sleeve that recalls the Seventies. In the glass it is a demi-sec, that is, a champagne with noticeable sweetness, which stays rich and agreeable from the first glass to the last.

Because of this fullness it is less an aperitif than a partner for dessert. The pairing with chocolate is especially appealing, as it takes up the sweetness with ease. Berry desserts are another natural match. Serve it well chilled at 6 to 8°C, in a white wine glass or a classic flute. That keeps the freshness intact, and the champagne carries you through the evening without losing its effect.
