Is there anything more deliciously decadent than high quality, Brut Rosé champagne? Anything more fitting than a brilliant pink sparkler to usher in the springtime? We think not.

This brilliant bubbly is as tasty as it is gorgeous. Crafted from 60% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, it glows a brilliant salmon pink in the glass. Elegant and rich, with concentrated aromas of crushed raspberries, blackberries and rose petals, this champagne marries wonderfully with strawberries and chocolate.

The house of de Venoge has been earning itself a reputation for excellence in the heart of Champagne since its founding in 1837 by Henri Marc de Venoge (a Swiss!). Only the cuvée juices, or first press juices are used at de Venoge; the taille or second press juice, is discarded. Vinification at de Venoge is a true mosaic of flavors and colors embodied in the fifty-one still wines from one single vineyard or single grape variety with which the winemaker will compose his masterpiece. The wines see no barrel aging, with the house style defined by natural champagnes of tremendous finesse and elegance. The bottles mature in the de Venoge underground cellars for a minimum of three years (instead of the required 15 months required by law) before release.

The result is consistent quality and refinement in each bottle.

Let yourself be dazzled by the remarkable elegance and breed of de Venoge sparklers today. Try their Brut Rosé as a rosy introduction to this deliciously elegant portfolio.
