Champagne Laurent Perrier, cuvée Rosé, 63 euros
Les années passent et le rosé de Laurent Perrier reste toujours une valeur sûre depuis son lancement en 1968. Il existe des immortels dans le vin et ce flacon en est un assurément. Il le doit non seulement à l esthétique de sa bouteille mais surtout à la qualité du vin. La robe est séduisante. Les bulles volent vers la surface avec légèreté. Elles amènent avec elles un bouquet de fruits rouges (framboise, fraise, groseille). Les arômes sont intenses. En bouche, la fraîcheur est immédiate. La finale longue et pleine de vie est une joie.

The exotic fruits and fresh citrus notes leapt out of the Pyrenean white wine, but wine-taster Sophie Pallas said the delicate undertones of pineapple were harder to detect than they would have been before she fell ill with COVID-19. Like so many infected with the coronavirus, Pallas lost her sense of taste and smell, a nightmare scenario for a master wine taster that has forced her to slowly retrain her nose and palate. Pallas' story highlights the pandemic's risk not just for vintners, sommeliers and wine tasters in France's multi-billion dollar wine industry but also for chefs, parfumiers, chocolate makers and others for whom finely-tuned taste buds or noses are vital tools of the trade.
