Paris Chic**

It’s no secret that books have the power to transport you: it’s not called ‘armchair travel’ without reason. For the frequent flyers in your life, inspire their next adventure with a beautiful travel guide. This volume is an illustrative journey through Paris, featuring quaint bistros, picturesque alleyways, and unique characters which brings the city – and her wanderlust – to life.

Lanson Le Rosé Champagne**

Another way to experience foreign soil without leaving home is through your tastebuds. For a lavish gift reminiscent of a getaway to the French countryside, turn to a bottle of Champagne from the region itself. For an extra special bottle, try the sweet, fruity, and delicate Lanson Le Rosé Champagne. The fresh red berry notes make this cuvée a great pairing with food. So, for a festive Mother’s Day lunch, pair Le Rosé with half-cooked salmon in sesame crust and small fennel, or with tuna tataki and soy sauce, ginger and wasabi. As for dessert, Le Rosé Champagne is gorgeous with strawberries and cream.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Le Rosé has a beautiful subtle pink salmon colour with fine, light bubbles.

• Aroma: The fine scents of raspberry, pomegranate and blood orange enhance a delicate note of rose.

• Palate: On the palate, a beautiful mineral crispness is accompanied by subtle floral and fruity notes of strawberry, redcurrant, and pomelo.
