The Champagne Tsarine Premium NV is the perfect wine for celebrations if you’re looking to up the ante and want to move away from some of the classic Champagnes that we know in Australia. This award-winning Champagne has been cleaning up internationally, collecting 42 awards after taking home gold at the 26th worldwide Belin Wine Trophy competition and Sakura Japan Women’s Wine Awards. It can be enjoyed on its own or would be the perfect match for a cheese board.
The Champagne Tsarine Premium NV is a really delightful Champagne that delivers bright and elegant flavours. On the nose, it has notes of Peach, Apricot and Nectarine. This follows through into the palate which had lovely notes of these fruits with a nice balance of a slightly creamy mouthfeel and a crisp, lemony finish. This wine is more on the bright and crisp spectrum of Champagne and is great before a meal. It is nicely balanced and really special.
