Champagne description
Cette cuvée est la création douceur de notre gamme,
sa couleur invite à **une dégustation tout en délicatesse**.
L’identité du champagne se marie avec l’élégance des fruits rouges aux nuances framboisées qui viennent apporter tous leurs arômes portés par la délicatesse des bulles.
Sa bouche, ronde et gourmande, fait ressortir la complexité des fruits rouges...
Ce champagne sera le compagnon idéal d’un crumble aux fruits rouges ou d’un moelleux au chocolat.

a deliciously subtle pleasure
As in, for example, "the colour holds out the promise of a deliciously subtle pleasure."
Or something along those lines - getting well away from the French.

a very gentle tasting
A gentle taste is the opposite of an overpowering one. Yes, it normally characterise the wine taste rather than the procedure of tasting. But it would work I think. "call for a gentle testing"
Avoid "finesse" which means something different (and is a standardised descriptor)

Tony M
: 'gentle' tends to beg the question what an 'aggressive' tasting might be like? And 'tasting' rather undervalues 'dégustation', which often means simply 'enjoy drinking', i.e. not in any kind of 'sampling' way (which it does in EN)

: I don't think the 'colour' would particualrly make you think about the 'mouthfeel' — this really sounds more like tasting notes than (what I assume is) a purely marketing text?

The text goes on to describe the taste experience. Your objection feels a little unfair.
