Why it's worth it

The pink biscuit of Reims dates to the 1690s and Fossier is its historic maker, once named baker to the crown. It is purpose-built to be dunked in Champagne, soaking up the wine into a pink, berry-flavoured pillow; opinions on eating it dry vary, but as a Champagne-region ritual it has no Czech equivalent.

Taste

Rose-pink vanilla biscuit dusted with icing sugar; airy but crunchy, light and sweet, made to soak up Champagne without falling apart
