    Is this the ultimate Whispering Angel dupe?

    Rosé lovers, listen up, M&S’s La Balconne Rosé is giving serious Whispering Angel vibes 👀

    Think soft blush pink, light and crisp with elegant fruity notes that scream summer-in-a-glass.

    Transcript

    Marks and Spencer's Le Bancone dupe of Whispering Angel. But does it taste as good as the original? Let's try it. Definitely two different colors. Slightly more strawberry, slightly more peach. This is the classic whispering angel. These were crushed red fruit, red strawberries, peach skin, and brightness, dusty. Very elegant. Very elegant.. It's delicious, vibrant, and citrusy, slightly more rounded, but bloody brilliant. I absolutely love it. Like for like, they're really similar, just slightly more fleshy, slightly more mineral, but beautiful wines. Rate them both five out of five. Thanks, Cote De Provence, another stunning rose.

    Transcribed automatically from the speech, so a name may be misheard.

    They’re both a 5/5 for me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    La Balconne, Marks & Spencer: £18.00 🏷️
    Whispering Angel, Tesco: £18.50 🏷️

    There’s not really much price difference, which is usually expected with ‘dupes’, but it is a beautiful wine.

    Thanks to Côtes de Provence for giving us another Devine rosé!
