$102.95 | France There is a clear reason why this is the world’s best selling rosé champagne. The red fruit aromas and flavours are subtle, and open on the palate with a nice creaminess. In spite of the rich texture, this has the zippy acidity to match any meal—though having a bottle on hand can be reason for celebration sans food.

Dominated by dark fruit with a little floral and some cocoa notes, it brings nice complexity with a long finish. It’s not priced as a premium bottle, but a lot of people would be fooled.
