Another bubbly worth an honourable mention is Lanson Le Rosé Brut – Fruit Market Limited Edition Gift Set (R1499.99)*:
The freshness and delicate fruitiness of Lanson Le Rosé cuvée compliments the Maison’s historic expertise in making Rosé Champagne.

The subtle addition of red wines – from emblematic Crus such as Bouzy or Les Riceys – the exclusive use of rosé reserve wines and the original vinification method, for the most part without malolactic fermentation, give it a unique pale, salmon colour – it bestows a fruitiness and a finesse that combined, distinguish it from other rosé Champagnes. Its delicate notes make it the ideal aperitif for a long summer evening, a picnic or the elegant accompaniment to a gourmet dessert.
