Merchant says
Unlike many champagnes designed purely as an aperitif, Nocturne is created for the later hours — perfect with dessert, fruit-based dishes or simply enjoyed as the evening unfolds.

Merchant's description

A striking limited-edition presentation of ** Taittinger ’s celebrated ** Champagne Nocturne Sec, the Blue Wave Edition is designed to capture the spirit of late-night celebration. The bottle features a luminous blue wave pattern inspired by sound waves and nightlife energy, subtly glowing under UV light and making it a standout centrepiece for parties and special occasions. Inside the bottle is the elegant Taittinger Nocturne Sec NV, a beautifully balanced champagne with a slightly richer, softer style than traditional brut expressions. A blend dominated by Chardonnay with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, it spends several years ageing on its lees to develop complexity and finesse. In the glass it offers aromas of white flowers, ripe peach and dried apricot, with hints of brioche and honeyed pastry. The palate is creamy, round and gently sweet, with fine bubbles and a smooth, indulgent finish. Unlike many champagnes designed purely as an aperitif, Nocturne is created for the later hours — perfect with dessert, fruit-based dishes or simply enjoyed as the evening unfolds. Tasting Notes Aroma: White flowers, peach, dried apricot, pastry Palate: Smooth, creamy texture with ripe stone fruit and subtle sweetness Finish: Elegant, mellow and lingering Food Pairing Excellent with fruit desserts, crème brûlée, blue cheese or enjoyed on its own as a late-evening champagne. Style: Sec (slightly sweeter champagne style) Grape Variety: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier Alcohol by volume: 12.5%
