Varietals

Simply stunning and always remembered, Tsarine Champagne is the prestige cuvee from Champagne House Chanoine Frères.

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.

The flagship Premium Cuvee Brut (Gold Medal at Brussels International Competition 2006) harmoniously combines one third of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Menieur resulting in elegantly balanced champagne with a fruity aromatic pallet and persistent mouth. Precision and excellence characterise Premier Cru Brut that has dominant Pinot Noir characteristics combined with a touch of Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier to deliver the finest blend with a long and complex finish (Top 100 Blue-Gold Award at Sydney International Wine Competition 2008). The Rosé provides a seductive offering swathed in ruby silk with aromas of wild strawberries and in the mouth berry fruits and cream.

Wine List

Tsarine Premier Cru

Tsarine Premier Cru

A fine mousse and a lively stream of delicate bubbles dance together against a yellow green background.
A panel of aromas come together to form a broad bouquet; first grapefruit then quince mingle with aniseed and fennel, and evolve into richer, spicy notes of pepper, clove and cinnamon.

On the palate flavours of almond, of toast, and then notes of vanilla and of butter, combine to soften the minerality of this fine blend. The final balance is brought into perfect equilibrium by the long and complex finish.

Composition of grape varieties:
78% Pinot Noir, 22% Chardonnay
