Amazon has sparked a fizz of excitement with its huge sale, slashing prices across a diverse range of products from beauty essentials to tech gadgets, and even beverages. For those with a penchant for fine drinks, there is an array of alcohol available at bargain prices.
Notably, Jada Jones, The Mirror’s wine expert, who boasts triple certification, highlights the Lanson Le Rosé Brut NV as a can’t-miss deal.
Originally priced at £49.99, this exquisite Champagne is now available for just £33.99 on Amazon. At first glance, some shoppers might baulk at the price, but Jada assures it’s a steal compared to its market counterparts.
Highlighting Veuve Clicquot’s Rosé Champagne which comes with a £56.75 price tag and Moet and Chandon Rose Imperial at £47.50, both offering similar blends and quality, Lanson stands out by providing exceptional value with an enticing £14 discount compared to its competitors.
Jada told The Mirror: “I do think Moet and Veuve Clicquot are two of the most popular Champagne houses here in the UK, but that doesn’t mean we should turn our noses up at the likes of Lanson. It’s actually one of the oldest Champagne houses, dating back to 1760 and in 1900, it received a Royal Warrant as an official supplier to the Court of England. If it’s good enough for royalty, then it’s worth trying.”
“Lanson is a very smooth and drinkable Champagne, it’s got the pale salmon colour you’d hope to see in a bottle like this. It’s a non-vintage so there’s no point putting this in your cellar and hoping it will be delicious in eight years, it might age well but I’d recommend popping this in the next 12 months for maximum enjoyment.”
“It’s got notes of raspberry, pomegranate and rose on the nose with a floral fruity blend on the palate. There are more notes that can be mentioned, but it ultimately tastes a little like red fruits with a touch of baked goods that you’d expect from a rosé Champagne.”
“In my opinion, if you’re looking for a bottle of pink bubbles to celebrate a special occasion in the next year this is a good option. The gift box also makes it an incredibly thoughtful gift.”
If you are gifting this and looking to impress the recipient, it’s worth remembering that it’s best paired with fish or summer fruits and that it’s won several medals in the wine world – including silver in the Global Champagne Masters of 2020. Although it has less overall ratings than rivals on Amazon, it has still pulled in an average rating of 4.9 out of 5, receiving compliments for having ‘just the right amount of bubbles’.
