Exceptional
Delicate bubbles, slightly sweet and fruity, very delicate. €€€ (Mar 07)

Blend of 60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Meunier, aged 3 years

  Nicolas Feuillatte Réserve Particulière, Brut


 

Very good

100% Chardonnay, aged 4 years

  Moët & Chandon Brut Impérial Rosé, 1996

Dry, like most rosé champagnes, the colour is fun but the champagne itself is not particularly pleasant to drink. Disappointing for the price. €€€ (2004)
