Fresh, fruity and with generous flavors, rosé champagne seduces and pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes.
We can no longer talk about a fashion nowadays: Rosé Champagne has settled permanently on our tables, further developing the diversity of flavors of the wines of the Champagne region. Driven by a new generation of lovers of fine bubbles, Rosé Champagne is a strong consumption trend among younger palates, but not only. Rather fresh, fruity and with generous flavors, it seduces and pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes. While other associations remain possible, southern and Mediterranean cuisines combine perfectly with the taste palette of Rosé Champagnes.
A Rosé Champagne
for starter or aperitif
When to drink Rosé Champagne ? "As an aperitif, at receptions and on balmy summer evenings!" ... This answer is wrong, a bit conventional and above all does not reflect the richness of this wine's flavor. However, we cannot deny that it pairs wonderfully with summer dishes, this sunny cuisine synonymous with pleasures and vacations. It goes divinely with a buffet that would offer Mediterranean dishes such as hummus, the mezzes, the tzatziki or even the poultry samosas. The spicy flavors reveal all the qualities of a beautifully crafted Rosé Champagne. The notes of red fruits that are regularly found in this wine underline a sweet/savory combination that hits the mark. Redcurrants, blueberries, raspberries, it's an explosion of flavors on the palate! Exotic cuisine provides the perfect setting for the aromas of Rosé Champagne to express themselves. A fragrant gastronomy, an invitation to travel.
But if it is clear that Rosé Champagne pairs perfectly with flavors of the south, it happily adapts to other culinary approaches.
Enjoy a dish
accompanied by Rosé Champagne
What dish goes well with a Rosé Champagne? This type of wine has one major advantage: it's easier to serve a Rosé Champagne with a main course than with other types of sparkling wines. From seafood to even red meats, there's a wide range of dishes that can be paired. You just need to find out about the vintage in advance to avoid choosing a Champagne that's more rounded and sweet and one that's more lively and light.
On a seafood platter, we will go for a fairly dry Rosé Champagne. A bit like choosing a white wine, roundness does not go well with iodized flavors. With dishes such as sushi Or sashimi, we will tend towards lightness and freshness.

Rosé Champagne with dessert
Rosé Champagne is a bit like THE wine for red fruit desserts. While they generally go well with all pastries, they find a particular echo in strawberries, the raspberries and others Morello cherries. Pairing with desserts that are fairly low in sugar is ideal. Although they come in competition with demi-sec champagnes For the end of the meal, rosé wines bring something different, which only individual tastes can distinguish. Generous and fruity, dessert rosé Champagnes add that final touch to a warm meal, a little pleasure that will delight the most gourmet among us.
