The wine
Record
Nyctalope is a sparkling drink from Domaine des Grottes. The producer’s own page calls it an organic alcohol-free drink, built from a plant infusion and grape and apple juice, then carbonated. It is not a wine with the alcohol removed. It has not been tasted. A score waits on a pour.
The bottle
Show
Hide
Sparkling botanical alternative assembled from 15% apple juice, 15% grape juice and 70% organic herbal infusion, as specified for 2026 lots. Carbon dioxide is listed on the producer label. Juice and plant infusions form the base; no alcohol-removal process is described.
Research notes
Its ingredient panel says the infusion includes, notably, bitter orange, Sichuan pepper, lemon verbena, and yarrow, and names grape juice (Vitis vinifera) and apple juice (Malus domestica). That page’s robe, nez, and bouche are producer descriptions, not a Dry Standard tasting. Its reproduced label lists 20 kcal, 5 g carbohydrate and 5 g sugars per 100 ml, with 0 g fat, saturated fat and protein. The serving column prints 28 kcal and 7 g sugars per 5 fl oz / 148 ml, and sodium below 0.007 g; these are recorded as printed rather than recalculated. These are producer profile and pairing descriptions, not firsthand tasting observations. Buteljholmen, listed by the domaine as its Swedish importer, describes blending grape juice with plant extracts, pasteurization, carbonation and addition of organic apple juice.

Where sources disagree
Sources disagree on the following points.
- Ingredients: The supplied 2026 sheet specifies 70% infusion, 15% apple juice and 15% grape juice. On 2026-10-31 the public product page states 70% infusion and 30% grape and apple juice, without splitting the juice, and its panel says the infusion includes notably bitter orange, Sichuan pepper, lemon verbena, and yarrow. Déjà bu, rechecked 2026-10-20, describes 65% infusion and 35% fruit juice. These are kept as separate claims. The 2026 table remains the batch-specific list; the page does not establish that botanicals absent from its notamment list were removed.
- Ingredients: The 2026 label calls the botanical Passion fruit and gives Passiflora edulis; older retailer/importer copy calls it passionflower or passiflore. The canonical list follows the 2026 label, with its botanical name retained. Older Highbury Library copy identifies Malvasia, while the supplied producer sheet says only grape juice and does not confirm a cultivar for 2026 lots.
- Nutrition: The reproduced producer label gives separate per-serving (5 fl oz / 148 ml) and per-100-ml values that do not scale exactly. The public calories and sugar fields explicitly use the printed per-100-ml column; serving values are retained as printed in production note. No analytical recalculation or corrected label is inferred.

- Price
- The earlier Metro price is a separate US shelf observation and was not rechecked.
