With cheese
Chaource
Our pick A rosé Champagne sets red-berry fruit and fresh acidity against Chaource's salted, lactic paste and hazelnut, and its bubbles keep the cream from weighing on the palate.
Cendré de Champagne
Our pick Supertoinette says the ash-coated cheese tastes of Brie with a small smoky note. A rosé Champagne's red-berry fruit and fresh acidity meet that note and cut through the soft paste.

- Open and pour. Open and pour directly. No decanting required for this style.
- Serve at 6-8°C. Cellar temperature (6-8°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
- Glassware. Use a tulip flute. The bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
- Pair with. Seared salmon, Charcuterie, Strawberry tart. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
