Penfolds x Thienot Brut Rose Champagne (1x75cl)

A rose Champagne made as a collaboration between Penfolds and Champagne Thienot, bottled without a vintage. Pink bubbles do a lot of work at a table: they open a dinner, they carry through to the main course, and nobody has to think too hard about what to order.

An easy pick for Mid-Autumn gatherings, year-end dinners or a client gift where you want something a bit less obvious than the usual big-brand Champagne. Serve it cold, around 8 degrees, in a normal white wine glass rather than a narrow flute.

Tasting notes

Rose Champagne usually shows red berry fruit such as strawberry and redcurrant alongside the bready, brioche character that comes from time on the lees. Typically dry despite the fruit, with a fine, persistent bead.
