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.

Tsarine Rosé Vintage 2003

Tsarine Rosé Vintage 2003

Such nectar is produced only in years of perfect ripeness in a limited quantity. The final blend, nearing absolute perfection, is born from imagination, from spontaneity, but also from endless patience.
The nose opens up with fragrances of blackcurrant, pastry, and enhances the finesse on the palate, like the glistening purity of the morning dew. The 2003 harvest was distinguished by the excellence and the equilibrium of its perfectly ripened grapes.
During the creation of the Tsarine Rosé 2003, bottled in June 2004, we retained a new option leaving the beautiful share to the Pinot Noir, which was vinified separately; white then Rosé and red followed by the assembly.

While Boursault, north-exposed in the Marne Valley, better protected from the heat wave of the summer 2003, produced grapes gorged with fruit and smoothness.
