Wine Pairing: Bollinger Rosé Bollinger Rosé is the current non-vintage rosé Champagne from the family House founded in Aÿ in 1829.

More than 85% of the fruit comes from Grand Cru and Premier Cru villages, keeping the wine firmly connected to the Pinot Noir-led Bollinger style. This is not a pale, weightless rosé

Wine Pairing: Ruinart Rosé Ruinart Rosé is the current non-vintage rosé from Maison Ruinart, the Champagne House founded in Reims in 1729. Its exact blend is 45% Chardonnay, 43% Pinot Noir vinified as white wine and 12% Pinot Noir vinified as red wine.

Coral and rosewood color lead toward pome

Wine Pairing: Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rosé 2018 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rosé 2018 is the current rosé expression of the House's prestige cuvée: a vintage Champagne built around Pinot Noir, shaped by a historic Bouzy parcel and released with a pale pink label that distinguishes it from the white La Grande Dame 2018.

Wine Pairing: Lanson Le Black Création 259 Lanson Le Black Création 259 is the current numbered interpretation of the historic Black Label style from a Champagne House founded in Reims in 1760.

Création 259 is based on the

Wine Pairing: Henriot Brut Souverain Henriot Brut Souverain is the historic signature cuvée of a Champagne House founded by Apolline Henriot in 1808. The current official technical sheet defines it as a multi-cru, multi-vintage blend built, on average, from 50% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay and 5% Meunier. Twenty-nine crus and a substantial reserve-wine component create complexity, while a dosage no greater than 5 g/L gives the modern release a precise, dry balance. The aromatic

Wine Pairing: Gosset Grande Réserve Brut Gosset Grande Réserve Brut is the signature non-vintage Champagne of the oldest wine house in Champagne, founded in Aÿ in 1584. Its current official blend is expressed as a range rather than a rigid formula: 40–45% Pinot Noir, 30–35% Chardonnay and 20–24% Meunier. That architecture gives the wine depth without heaviness, floral and citrus lift without austerity, and enough fruit to connect aperitif freshness with a complete meal. The o

The current official composition draws on approximately 25–30 Chardonnay crus, predominantly from the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Sézannais and Vallée de la Vesle, with 20–30% reserve wines from several vintages. It is made for radiance and clarity rather than weight: freshness and roundness meet in a pale, luminous Champagne who
