This is an amazing Champagne wine, the colour is bright and vivid.

Region: Landiras

Country: France

Colour: Rose

Year: N/A

Grape: N/A

Supplier: N/a                                                                                              

Price (VND): 250.000

Points: 83/100

Pairs well with: A

Notes:

This was an amazing discovery (considering the price!), which I bought in a small shop off Nguyen Van Troi a few months back, unfortunately I bought the last 5 bottles, however I am sure that is still available somewhere else in the city, so if you find it, I would appreciate that you let me know.

This sparkling rose from France has a dark salmon colour, uniform and appealing. The nose brings leather and a hint of strawberries.

The palate is delicate, with more leather, strawberries, and some lemons, smooth and nice, with a not too long finish, but very pleasant.

This sparkling wine goes into my category of “dangerous wines” as it is so pleasant that is too easy to drink and when you realise, the bottle is gone!
