Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial Brut NV, Champagne, France

Moët champagne surely needs to introduction, but pairing the decadence and elegance of the classic blend with the playful perkiness of rosé brings this producer to a new level. Popping the cork of this bottle will provide a tantalisingly fresh aroma, and that's matched by the intensity of the flavour. The palate will immediately be treated to a range of berries, with strawberries, raspberries and redcurrants vying for attention. Rest assured, however, this is no cloying champagne - hints of peach cut through the sweetness to provide a balanced taste sensation, rounded out by a hint of refreshing menthol that lingers on the lips.

GRAPE

• Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay

WHAT IT GOES WITH

If you're in the mood for something spicy, Moet Rosé is the perfect companion to temper any flavourful excesses. This decadent bottle also matches cured meats and fresh seafood, however.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD
