Scott FitzgeraldLaurent Perrier - Champagne Cuvee Rose This is the holy grail of Rose's, if you think of top 3 contenders this is it! Laurent Perrier is known for their Rose more than their brut, with an average rating of 93 points this one is hard to beat. This is not only a crowd pleaser but an impressive bottle to show off your champagne knowledge. Average price is $95 Laurent Perrier - Blason Rose When you think of champagne, Perrier Jouet will always make the list. They are one of the top 1% wines from champagne with outstanding flavor profiles. The Rose in my opinion is better than the brut, but that is my preference. Average Price is $77 La Grand Dame - Brut Champagne This is creme de la creme! We all know the beloved Veuve Clicquot, well this its older brother with more flavor and refined quality. This is basically Veuve Cliquot's top shelf/ black label bottle if you will. Average Price is $220@DAVIDYREALTYBeverly hills | www.DAVIDYREALTY.COM All photography credits belong to owner and photographer no affiliation. BH news letter Beverly Hills news
