I had a bottle of this over the Chinese New Year. This is from the champagne house which produced the varietal Arbanne champagne as well as the champagne with six grapes. This is a varietal Pinot Noir champagne produced by the saignee method, which has received good scores from the punters - RP92, WS91, ST91*. And the price is very competitive too, cheaper than the NV roses from the likes of Moet and Veuve Clicquot.
As for the wine, it was a deep rose pink with good streams of fine bubbles and a slightly sweet fruity nose. The palate started off with an acid prickle giving way to strawberry notes and acid palate, supported by an acid fruity backbone.
