Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé Champagne

Region: Mareuil-sur-Aÿ (Montagne de Reims), Champagne | ABV: 12% | Tasting Notes: Strawberries, Baked apples, Biscuit

Billecart’s beloved rosé Champagne continues to capture the hearts of industry professionals and consumers alike and it’s no surprise why. Crafted from a blend of chardonnay, pinot noir, and pinot meunier, this thirst-quenching rosé Champagne jumps with notes of strawberries, baked apples, biscuit, and minerals. You really can’t go wrong here. 

Mathieu Roland-Billecart, CEO and 7th Generation of Champagne Billecart-Salmon, notes that Billecart makes their blended rosé Champagne by adding a small part of red wine to a traditional (white) Champagne blend. “Our white wine blend is chardonnay dominant, so as to maintain freshness, and our red wine comes only from old vine pinot noir to add fruitiness,” he says. Roland-Billecart notes that Billecart’s rosé Champagne is equally pleasing to both “wine aficionados and beginners in wine” who simply seek quality. 

“Our house is known to make cuvées that are defined for their finesse, elegance and balance, and we want the style to be respected for the brut rosé as well,” he says. Roland-Billecart recommends serving their rosé Champagne with sushi, pizza, or various types of red fruit desserts.

Region: Bisseuil (Vallée de la Marne), Champagne | ABV: 12.5% | Tasting Notes: Strawberries, Candied red fruits, Wet stones

This chardonnay-dominant (70%) rosé Champagne is weighty, dry, and undeniably delicious. Flavors of wild strawberries, candied red fruits, and wet stones dominate the wine’s zesty palate. 36 months of lees aging adds extra texture to this already complex wine. With just three grams of dosage, the wine’s essentially bone dry palate promises to satisfy rosé Champagne cravings across the board.

Pierre Moncuit Grand Cru Cuvee Brut Rose

View On 67wine.com View On Selfridges.com

Region: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (Côte des Blancs), Champagne | ABV: 12.5% | Tasting Notes: Red fruit, Rose petals, Smoke

This stunning rosé Champagne offers one of the best quality-to-price ratio options on the market. Notes of red fruits, rose petals, and smoky rocks lead to a crisp and refreshing finish. When shopping at this price point, forget the big name brands and look to small grower-producers like this one for some incredible (and better-tasting) deals.

“For blended rosé Champagnes, I look for higher acidity and for it to be bright and mineral-driven,” says Tira Johnson of Brooklyn Wine Exchange. Johnson notes that she prefers this style with a lower dosage or no dosage at all, otherwise referred to as brut nature. [Note: Pierre Moncuit Brut Rosé Champagne is made from an 80/20 blend of chardonnay and pinot noir.]

Region: Vertus (Côte de Blancs), Champagne | ABV: 12% | Tasting Notes: Raspberries, Citrus rind, Brioche

This smooth and straightforward rosé Champagne shows a gorgeous balance between fruit-driven flavors and bright acidity. Expect notes of raspberries, red currants, citrus rind, and brioche to flood the wine’s medium-bodied palate. For a creamy, well-integrated rosé Champagne, this is your answer.

Johnson recommends pairing lighter rosé Champagnes with french fries, fried chicken, potato chips, or “really anything fried.” Count us in.

Best Unique

View On Vivino View On Thewhiskyexchange.com View On Winelibrary.com

Region: Côteaux Sud d'Epernay (between the Côte de Blancs and the Vallée de la Marne), Champagne | ABV: 12.5% | Tasting Notes: Sour cherries, Orange jam, Chalk 

In the realm of unique Champagnes, this bottle is most definitely the winner. Not only is this wine produced from organic and biodynamically farmed fruit (although our list features a few, this is actually a rather rare feat in the region), it’s also crafted entirely from pinot meunier.

Notes of sour cherries, pink grapefruit, orange jam, and chalk lead to a harmonious finish. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again—when it comes to Champagne, seek out value in small family producers like this one.

Best Splurge

Jacques Selosse Brut Rosé Champagne N.V.

View On Vervewine.com

Region: Avize (Côte de Blancs), Champagne | ABV: 12.5% | Tasting Notes: Red fruit, Orange peel, Rose hips 

Rosé Champagne lovers know that Selosse Rosé is basically the holy grail of the category. Produced from a blend of chardonnay (approx. 90-94%) and pinot noir, this remarkable rosé Champagne is lively, exotic, and meticulously crafted.

Notes of red fruits, orange peel, rose hips, ginger, and wet limestone lead to a vivacious, persistent, and bone dry finish. This is the pinnacle of rosé Champagne.

Best Organic

Fleury Rosé de Saignée Brut Champagne

View On Klwines.com

Region: Courteron (Côtes de Bar), Champagne | ABV: 12.5% | Tasting Notes: Forest berries, White cherries, Flint

This delicious rosé Champagne is crafted entirely from organic and biodynamically farmed fruit in the heart of the Côtes de Bar. Full-bodied notes of forest berries, white cherries, and flint lead to a dry, refreshing finish. Whether happy hour, dinner with friends, or simply unwinding solo after a long day at work is the occasion, this bottle will do just fine. 

“[rosé Champagne produced via the saignée method] incorporates a maceration of red grapes, similar to how winemakers make still rosé,” explains Johnson. “This style can be wild, and those are the ones I seek out. I like the darker saignées that are rich in body, and have a touch of bitterness.” Johnson notes that saignées are great for pairing with richer dishes, versus assemblage styles, which are great for drinking on their own or with lighter dishes.

Best for Food Pairing

Laurent-Perrier Brut Cuvée Champagne Rosé N.V.

View On Drizly View On Vivino View On Wine.com

Region: Tours-sur-Marne (Vallée de la Marne), Champagne | ABV: 12% | Tasting Notes: Cherries, Red apple skin, Cream

Crafted in the Vallée de la Marne, this luscious rosé Champagne is one for the books. Expect notes of cherries, raspberry jam, red apple skin, and cream to dominate this salmon-hued wine’s energetic palate.

Michelle DeFeo, president of Laurent-Perrier USA, explains that unlike most rosé Champagnes that are produced from blends of white and red fruit, Laurent-Perrier’s Cuvée Rosé is crafted from 100% pinot noir. At LP, grapes are sourced from 100% Grand Cru villages in the Montagne de Reims and are specifically selected for this cuvée. 

“The wine’s rounded bottle pays homage to the 17th-century design,” explains DeFeo. “Today, it is not handblown, but it has an angled glass lip—an ode to where the bottle would have been removed from the glass pipe. The bottle also has LP emblazoned on the front, reflecting a time before paper labels.” De Feo recommends enjoying Laurent-Perrier’s versatile rosé Champagne with duck breast, fish tacos, or strong cheeses.
