We have to stop making the lemon-caper chicken to serve with champagne. The last time we did, we got a dud bottle. On Saturday, we thought we'd try it again, and had a wine that was totally unmemorable, not really worthy of the lovely meal.
While we were at Majestic Wine, we picked up a bottle of Perrier-Jouet Blason Rose. We were excited about this wine, as we've drunk champagne from this maker before and it's been good. There's a lot of positive marketing about this particular champagne, too, saying it's 'powerful' and full of berry fruits.
But it was only OK. Definitely not powerful. A little sour at the finish. And like many rose wines in general, not a very distinctive flavour. The most disappointing part for me was that the bubbles are so fine that you can see them in the glass, but you can't feel them in your mouth - way too subtle for my taste.
I'm glad we only bought one bottle of this wine - we paid a premium for the brand, and I'll only remember the wine because I've blogged about it. I wouldn't look forward to drinking more of it.
