Balathier Champagne Brut Rosé, 75cl

Product Information

Underlying this pale pink rosé is a delightful biscuity note, partly thanks to three years of ageing and the high proportion of chardonnay in the blend.

This female powerhouse duo has created a champagne packed with wild strawberry and red cherries, alongside a touch of pink grapefruit. Ease it up, always with your hand over the cork in a firm grip and, as you hear a pop, you know you've opened it. Classic with a modern twist, it boasts a blush colour and well-structured flavour profile with fine, long lasting bubbles and hints of orange. These champagne glasses have a smoked grey tinted finish that add a modern touch to their classic fluted design.Made by one of the region’s smaller cooperatives, this champers is so fresh and chalky yet slightly lemony that it’ll feel like you're drinking sparkling chablis. From here on in, keep the bottle pointed away from yourself and anyone present, especially people's faces – about a 45 degree angle is good. High-quality glasses in an elegant shape, these champagne flutes are machine-made but excellent value for money. Classic champagne cocktails include buck’s fizz for a special brunch, or a fruity kir royale made with crème de cassis. There’s plenty of choice when it comes to fizz these days: from affordable prosecco and cava to unique English sparkling wines and even non-alcoholic sparkling options, but champagne remains the most decadent option.

The term ‘blanc de noirs’ means that it is made from black grapes only (pinot noir and meunier) and the result is rich and bold. Fans of an aperol spritz can put champagne to good use in a sparkling aperitivo spritz during summer. Made using a blend of pinot noir, pinot meunier (both of which are black grapes) and chardonnay, rosé champagne can only be labelled as such if it’s produced in the Champagne region of France.A grower champagne means that all the grapes in the wine came from the producer’s own property, unusual in this region of big brands. It’s the drink of parties and celebrations, of weddings and christenings, the drink that conjures up memories of special occasions and a touch of luxury. Some champagne houses may be familiar names, such as Taittinger or Veuve Clicquot, but we’ve tested a range of lesser known, budget-friendly and even best supermarket champagnes, too, to find a brilliant affordable bottle of bubbly. It may be quite stiff at first – if so, alternate pulling and twisting motions – but as you go you'll start to feel the pressure from within helping you out. Boasting a fruity and well-structured profile, this premium sparkling wine is the perfect partner to celebrate life's special moments.

As to pouring champagne, if everything went smoothly, you have a bottle at 45 degrees, with a touch of vapour wafting out. Warmth and/or rough handling both make for an explosive cork situation and the likelihood of more mess and waste.
