In our last post, we wrote about the ideal pairings for a Moët & Chandon Imperial Rosé, and we shared the recipe for a Watermelon & Feta Salad that is perfect to accompany this brut rosé champagne.

This time, we are going to tell you about Chandon Rosé, it is also a brut sparkling wine, with notes of strawberry, watermelon, and cherry made with a mixture of Chardonnay, Malbec, Pinot Noir strains and winner of the Gold Medal in the SF Chronicle Wine Competition of 2021.

Rosé wines themselves are very versatile to pair, Chandon Rosé being slightly citric and dry, we recommend pairing it with:

Seafood
Salmon
Paella
Creamy risotto
A selection of cheeses: brie, camembert, parmesan
Desserts that are not overly sweet

Chandon Rosé also lends itself to adding a sophisticated touch to certain cocktails like this one, which combines refreshing watermelon juice, white tequila, and lime juice topped with our sparkling rosé. Delicious! Ideal for a brunch.

You can find Chandon Brut Rosé sparkling wine at Vinoteca stores.
