Oudinot Rose Brut NV

Made exclusively for M&S by a producer called Oudinot, it’s a blend of the two red grapes allowed in Champagne, namely Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. And it’s gorgeous: fresh and crisp with a gentle whiff of toast about it. The light pink colour comes from the grape skins being left with the juice for a couple of hours after they’ve been crushed. True love doesn’t come cheap but this one’s £4 cheaper than usual at the moment. Brilliant with fish & chips.
