A New Sensual Champagne Find.............Tsarine

Last Month in London, one of the most beautiful and sensual ladies I know, introduced me to a new Champagne ( well, at least to me). It is called Tsarine and the bottle itself is worth the price of admission, as they say!
Created in 1730 by the brothers Jacques-Louis and Jean-Baptiste Chanoine during the reign of Louis XV, it is the second oldest champagne house and was the first house to be authorised by the city of Epernay to dig a cellar in Champagne. Champagne of the Tsars, Tsarine was created in honour of Tsarist Russia (the No.1 export market in the 19th Century). The attractive and unique bottle was inspired by the Kremlin where Tsar were crowned. Tsarine Premium Cuvee Brut
With lightness and finesse, the streams of delicate bubbles rise through the glass, reflecting hints of green and of gold.The aromas gently reveal lime flowers and lemon balm mingled with notes of bitter oranges and of quince. Freshness and elegance are confirmed on the palate. The dominant notes of citrus fruits combine with white peaches and raisins.

It does not come cheap ( but what is anymore), at 80 pounds sterling a bottle.
So find that right lady and sucumb to her charms along with a bottle of Tsarine, you won't be sorry!
