It’s hard to imagine Mariah Carey as a serious actress- yet she proved that with the movie Precious. Now she’s ready to prove she‘s a serious entrepreneur with her latest venture champagne. Yup, champagne. She’s following Francis Ford Coppola‘s path in branching out with the brand new Angel Champagne.
The bubbly is to be introduced here in the States sometime this Spring. Surprisingly, it’s not made on her native Long Island but in France’s first capital, Reims. Right now it’s only sold in Europe coming in the larger sized liters and jeroboam bottles. I’m hoping that they’ll come out with the smaller sized ponies or splits (think small soda bottle size) because even a 750 ml bottle is 840 British pounds which translates into the pricey $1,290 .
Is a champagne worth all this money? The answer is yes. There are three vintages, either brut or blush(rose), each with a distinctive taste, Angel is not your typical champagne ,opened for birthdays and anniversaries. It is a true artisan blend of grown Chardonnay grapes specially fermented to give Angel its’ unique layered taste. The notes are pear and green apple while the brut rose is reminiscent of strawberries and flowers.
Give Mariah Carey credit. Not only does she do a powerful turn in Precious but she also has created a powerful champagne. I think she’ll be winning awards for this last. Angel really is sent from heaven. How appropriate considering it’s like nectar from the gods.
