Rosé Brut champagnes are ideal to enjoy during the summer period, as rosé champagne dances a perfect tango with summer dishes… Shellfish, fruit and sunny picnics – a bottle of Rosé Brut champagne is always a good idea! From Ruinart to Bollinger to Dom Pérignon…
Champagne rosés brut : the best champagnes of summer…
Starting with the most iconic house – the emblematic house of this Champagne product, the house of Dom Pérignon.
What is emblematic about this champagne with its pink colour and finely sparkling bubbles? The Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2008 is the expression of the house’s audacity. “Born of this desire to dare, Dom Pérignon Rosé captures the red of the pinot noir in its original brilliance and captures its complexity in a bold and assertive blend. Developed over nearly twelve years of slow, controlled transformation in the cellar, Dom Pérignon Rosé reveals itself to be intense and spontaneous, clear and obscure, and magnetic,” describes Champagne’s most iconic house.
It is a radical combination of Pinot Noir grapes from the “Chants de Linottes” parcel in Hautvillers and the “Vauzelles” parcel in Aÿ, which makes this rosé champagne unique! A true pioneer of a new taste for Champagne, the Dom Pérignon Rosé 2008 opens with a bouquet of raspberry and wild strawberry… On the palate, its bubbles are full-bodied and silky! A vibrant and powerful champagne.

The mythical champagne house Moët et Chandon offers this season two must-have rosés that caught our attention. The Grand Vintage Rosé 2013 and the Ice Rosé.
Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage Rosé 2013 is a generous champagne with a spicy fruitiness. Benoît Gouez, the Cellar Master, has managed to bottle all the ardour and irregularity of 2013. Here again, his architecture, Pinot Noir (44%, of which 14% is red wine), Chardonnay (35%), and Meunier 21(%), distills the grandeur and exceptional character expected of the 44th rosé vintage of the house.
2013 marked the 270th anniversary of Moët & Chandon. And it must be said that Nature wanted to put cold weather savoir-faire back at the heart of the production of Moët & Chandon vintages. Yes, because 2013 was above all the year of the return of the October harvest, unseen since 1991!

The James bond’s favorite champagne house, the Bollinger House, offers this year an exceptional rosé champagne cuvée. La Grande année Rosé 2014 – a subtle blend of a great champagne and a unique red. Refined and divine, this is one of Bollinger’s finest champagnes. The house describes it thus: “the 2014 vintage has given birth at Bollinger to a wine that is at once precise, fine and complex in its minerality and exceptional amplitude.”

Lallier offers the Grand Cru rosé that closes this selection… A subtle and elegant aromatic signature carried by its powdery pink colour.
A tasting experience described by Lallier as follows: “The uniqueness of Lallier Rosé results from the blending of 65% Pinot Noir from the Grands Crus of the Montagne de Reims (Verzenay, Verzy and Ambonnay), of which 7% are red Grand Cru wines from Bouzy. The Chardonnay berries (35%) come from the Côte des Blancs. This blend of two jewels of the Champagne vineyard consolidates the fullness and intense character of Pinot Noir with the emblematic freshness of Chardonnay.

So enjoy the summer of 2022 with the most delicious rosé champagnes.
