Le Mesnil Sublime Rose NV 75cl

Tasting Note

Delicious red fruit and a bright red apple skin note emerge from this super rose – a slightly darker pink that makes it super with a whole host of foods. Try it with a rare fillet steak – it is brill!

Producer

Some critics consider the Coopérative Union des Propriétaires Récoltants (UPR) or, more conveniently called ‘Champagne Le Mesnil’, something of a factory given the scale of its operation, but the quality of the base wine is without question. Established in 1937, the members of the co-operative own some of the best sites within the commune. Their commitment to quality is further endorsed when one considers the close (and confidential) relationship it has with its main trading partners, which include Moët & Chandon, Veuve Cliquot, Taitiinger, Laurent-Perrier, Delamotte and Pol Roger. It is rumoured that some of the wines even find their way into the legendary Salon, located just a few minutes’ walk away across the village.
