Ruinart Rosé
A rosé made with almost half chardonnay, and you can taste it: guava, lychee and raspberry on one side, mint and pink grapefruit keeping everything crisp. The bottle that goes from aperitif through dessert.
Why this rosé stays so crisp
Ruinart Rosé is made from 55 percent pinot noir and 45 percent chardonnay, with 18 percent of the blend added as red still wine. This gives it its color: delicate pomegranate pink with a slight orange hue. It's the method permitted in Champagne and not found elsewhere in France, and it gives the winemaker control over exactly how much red fruit ends up in the bottle.
The proportion of chardonnay is what sets this rosé apart. In many rosé champagnes, red fruit tells the whole story; here, there's an almost equally large layer of white grapes underneath, making itself known through the mint and pink grapefruit that keep the balance. As a result, the bottle stays bright and fresh rather than full and round, and you can keep serving it from aperitif through dessert.
In brief
Guava and lychee, with mint on the finish
Subtle and exotic
Not a heavy strawberry aroma, but guava and lychee stand out first, followed by raspberry and cherry. Then rose and pomegranate join in.
Bright and full
Bright in flavor yet full on the palate. The red fruit is clearly present without making the champagne heavy.
Mint and grapefruit
Mint and pink grapefruit take over and keep everything in balance. That's where the chardonnay comes in, and why this rosé tastes drier than it smells.
The flavor profile of Ruinart Rosé on its own, at 8 to 10 degrees. Served too cold, the guava and lychee fade into the background, leaving mostly freshness.
From aperitif to dessert
This bottle is meant to see you through an entire meal. Serve at 8 to 10 degrees, fill to about two-thirds, and put the bottle back in the cooler between courses.
With sushi and ceviche
Pour about 12 cl with raw fish. The exotic fruit pairs with ginger and soy sauce, while the mint and grapefruit keep the fish fresh, where a full-bodied rosé would overpower it.
Glass: tulip or flute →With Parma ham and lamb
A larger glass works better with more savory dishes. Pour 10 cl into a white wine glass, give it a minute, and the red fruit comes through clearly against the saltiness of the ham.
Wine glasses →With dessert
The page also mentions this rosé with dessert. Stick to fruit or something with raspberry in it: a dry champagne is no match for rich chocolate.

With this fruit in the mix, you don't need much else. Keep the pour modest, because everything you add takes away from the mint and grapefruit that give this rosé its tension.
Bellini
Peach purée topped up with bubbles. Rosé gives it a deeper color and adds red fruit notes.
Pink cocktails
Cocktails that bring a pink hue to the glass. Rosé champagne is the easiest base for them.
Sgroppino
Lemon sorbet, vodka and bubbles whisked into a foam. A dessert and a drink all in one.
Aperitif cocktails
The drinks that start an evening, with a rosé as the liveliest bubbly of the bunch.The right glass for Ruinart Rosé
A wide bowl brings out the guava, lychee and red fruit; a white wine glass takes it one step further. A flute keeps the bubbles the longest, and a coupe is pure celebration.
