Rosé Champagne

Rosé Champagne at Drinks House 247

Rosé Champagne is known for its beautiful shades, ranging from delicate pink to rich copper, exuding a sense of romance and charm. It is typically made using two methods:

Assemblage: Most producers choose to blend still red wine, primarily Pinot Noir or Meunier, which makes up 7%-15% of the blend and gives the wine its unique hue.

Saignée: This method involves briefly macerating red grape skins in the juice. As the skins soak, they infuse the juice with their color, aromatics, and structure. Once the desired intensity is achieved, the skins are removed, and fermentation continues. The saignée method often produces rosé champagnes with intense fruit flavors and a strong structure, making them distinct in depth and character.
