A new and impressive addition to Majestic's Champagne line-up, this rosé represents fantastic value for money at the mix six price. Chanoine Frères has a long history in the region, established in 1730, but it's also been a pioneer, its cellarmaster Isabelle Tellier one of the first women to hold the position in a Champagne house when she was appointed back in 2001. Majority Pinots Noir and Meunier, this elegant and full-bodied Champagne includes 10% of red wine in the blend, from grapes grown mainly in the famous Les Riceys rosé area. It's quite vinous in style, with masses of juicy red berry fruit – wild strawberry and raspberry – and a good backbone. Dosage: 7g/L.
