Bollinger Rose

Make a statement about how special mum is with one of France’s finest Champagnes, Bollinger, which offers this distinctive rose style as a perfect fizz for afternoon tea or pre-dinner. This style also has enough inner power to work brilliantly beside lunch of crayfish or delicately baked salmon. It is a pale glossy pink in the glass with classic strawberry fruit and pith characters, and has textural mouth feel from vibrant bubbles and delicate fruit tannins that come from high-class minute additions of quality pinot noir to give its rose colouring.
