Champagne description
Ce Champagne Rosé **mousse** au service qui se poursuit en un joli cordon de bulles blanches .
Ce Champagne présente une mousse abondante au service puis un cordon de bulles bien établi .
Ce Champagne présente une mousse opulente et généreuse au service qui se transforme ensuite en un généreux cordon de bulle.
Ce Champagne présente une discrète mousse au service qui se prolonge par un fin cordon de bulle .
I'm hesitating between syntactic variations using "effervescence" and "foam" (having eliminated "suds" and "lather" as suggested by Linguee!)

foams
these are the bubbles that form on the top of the champagne in a head, as opposed to the ones that rise up through the glass.

sorry, I wrote foams because I thought they used the verb "mousser"

mousse
Ayala Brit pours a pale gold colour, the mousse is light and persistent.

The mousse will rise up the glass
http://www.stylist.co.uk/life/how-to-serve-champagne
When poured, the champagne bubbles should create generous and long-lasting foam (or mousse).

(sparkling) bubbles
Foam sounds rather like bath water!
We usually say sparkling wine and for the froth maybe bubbles.

Tony M
: Foam is perfectly acceptable fr beer and champagne; 'sparkling' would be a misnomer for champagne, and bubbles refers to the bubbles within the wine, as Mark has pointed out.
