J.P. Chenet Fashion Strawberry & Raspberry Sparkling 75cl

Berry-bright French sparkling wine is the move when you want fizz, fruit, and zero homework. This one goes straight for strawberry and raspberry, so the first sip feels juicy, playful, and properly party-ready without asking you to decode a wine textbook.

It sits in that easy-drinking sparkling wine lane: chilled, poured cold, and ready for people who like their bubbles with a clear flavour hook. Think sparkling rosé’s louder, fruitier cousin. Same celebratory pop, more red-berry energy. If Prosecco is your usual “safe” bottle and you want something a bit more colourful, this is an easy detour.

• Appearance: A bright pink pour with lively bubbles, the kind that looks instantly at home in a flute or coupe.
• Nose: Fresh strawberry leads, followed by raspberry jam, red berry sweets, and a little floral lift that keeps it cheerful.
• Palate: Juicy strawberry and tangy raspberry come through clearly, with soft sweetness and a gentle sparkle that keeps everything moving.
• Body: Light-bodied, fresh, and easy to sip, with enough fruit to feel generous without getting heavy.
• Finish: Clean red-berry finish, short to medium in length, with a little raspberry zing hanging around after the bubbles fade.
• Food pairings: Try it with strawberry cheesecake, vanilla panna cotta, fruit tart, salty popcorn, or a soft cheese board with brie and fresh berries.

The best serve is simple: chill it properly and don’t overthink it. Pour it for brunch, birthdays, poolside snacks, girls’ night, pre-dinner drinks, or that very specific moment when someone says, “Should we open something fun?” Yes. This is that something.

What makes it useful on the shelf is how obvious the flavour promise is. Some sparkling wines make you guess. This one tells you exactly where it’s going: strawberries, raspberries, bubbles, done. That’s great for anyone who’s new to wine, but it’s also handy when you’re hosting and want a crowd-friendly pour that doesn’t need explaining.

It also works nicely as a base for low-effort spritz-style serves. Add ice, a few fresh berries, and a splash of soda if you want it lighter, or pour it into a flute with a frozen raspberry instead of a garnish that tries too hard. Want dessert energy? Serve it beside white chocolate, berry pavlova, or a simple bowl of strawberries and cream.

If you usually reach for Moscato, fruity sparkling rosé, or sweeter Prosecco styles, this is a natural next bottle to try. You’ll get the same easy-going sparkle, but with a more direct berry character. It’s not trying to be a serious dinner table wine with a raised eyebrow. It’s here for colour, fizz, and the kind of glass people actually finish.

Fun Fact: JP. Chenet is one of France’s most recognisable wine names, famous for its quirky curved-neck bottle design, a shape that was made to stand out long before “shelf appeal” became marketing speak.
