Champagne Rosé is the appellation for Champagne tinted pink by the dark pigment contained in the skins of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. The wines are sometimes referred to informally as 'pink' champagne.
As with the whites, rosé non-vintage and vintage Champagne (millisimé) is produced. However, not all producers make a vintage Champagne in pink, and those that do so usually limit releases to the best years. Some firms make no rosé at all, or only for specific clients. This particularly applies to smaller grower Champagne labels, and/or specialists in Blanc de Blancs.
The term Champagne Blend refers to one of the world's most distinctive wine styles – the sparkling wines made from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier that are most famously associated with the Champagne region of northern France.
