Why We Love It

This is rosé Champagne that walks the perfect line between elegance and personality. The use of saignée and still red wine gives the wine depth and fruit intensity, while extended lees aging keeps it refined and structured.

It’s versatile, celebratory, and effortlessly romantic — exactly what most people hope rosé Champagne will be.

Winemaking

This rosé is crafted from the same core vineyard sources as Philipponnat’s flagship blends, primarily Grand and Premier Cru vineyards in the heart of Champagne.

Key elements of the blend include:

• First-press fruit from top Champagne villages

• A portion of still red Pinot Noir from Mareuil-sur-Ay and Les Riceys

• Rosé de saignée for color and fruit intensity

• Reserve wines aged in wooden barrels for added complexity

Fermentation takes place in both stainless steel and oak, with partial malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness. The wine is aged on lees for three to four years, far longer than Champagne’s minimum requirements, before release.

Serving & Pairing

Serve chilled (around 46–48°F).

Perfect pairings:

• Smoked salmon or charcuterie

• Roast chicken or turkey

• Veal and lamb

• Tuna or salmon dishes

• Berry-based desserts

This is one of the most versatile Champagne styles for pairing across an entire meal.
