Sparkling Rosé / Rose Wines | Prices, Types & Reviews
Written By: Brian Freedman on Wed, Jan 24th 2007
Rosé Champagnes and other sparkling wines are produced using the same methods applied to still rosé wines: Either red grapes are crushed (in the case of rosé Champagnes, this more often than not means pinot noir) and the juice is allowed to sit in contact with the skins for a short period of time, or a bit of red wine is blended with the white until the desired color and flavor are achieved.
Because of the added level of difficulty in the production of rosé Champagnes and other sparkling wines, they tend to be a bit more expensive. However, they also tend to be more rich, possessed of a fuller body, and are altogether a bit more interesting.
