12 Best Rosé Champagnes For Christmas

Part of the new RSRV range by Maison Mumm — an exclusive for The Whisky Exchange — Rosé Foujita is a blend of six grand cru terroirs, combining chardonnay, pinot noir and reserve red wine. The result? An elegant blend with brioche, vanilla, summer berries and stewed apricot on the palate.

Our testers loved it as a standalone sipper, but it would also pair beautifully with decadent fish dishes, like baked turbot.

Mimicking the belle époque-inspired floral bottle design, this fizz is perfumed with petals. It’s a great all-rounder, with well-integrated acidity, velvety smooth bubbles and juicy red berries.

Designed with food in mind, it’s just as delicious with seafood as it is with fruity desserts.

Patsy and Eddie of Ab Fab fame made it quite clear you needn’t be a wine snob to appreciate a glass of Bolly. This rosé version builds on the brand’s rich brioche base, while introducing red berries and a touch of stone fruit.

We recommend pairing this full-flavoured fizz with smoked salmon blinis or breakfast in bed.

Taittinger's non-vintage rosé has an unmistakably elegant finesse. With notes of strawberry and cream, we can see how this oh-so-refreshing fizz scored so highly with our expert panel.

Keeping true to the original yellow label, Veuve Clicquot uses a very similar blend here, backed up with bittersweet red berries from the dominant pinot noir grape.

A thick tuna steak will balance out the pronounced crisp acidity, and score you top marks with winter dinner party guests.

There’s no better way to whet the appetite than a couple of glasses of 'LP' before dinner. Full-bodied with redcurrant and raspberry, this one’s underscored with a rich, well-rounded nuttiness on the finish.

Make it bespoke, with Laurent-Perrier's new customisation service available at Selfridges.

We can always think of a reason to crack open a bottle of bubbly, but this one’s an extra special treat. Layers of juicy cherry and a lick of strawberries and cream are all wrapped up in a rich toasty blanket.

Crunchy green apple and juicy strawberries create a refreshing glass here, and the smooth bubbles make this crowd-pleasing pink a safe bet. Just add a cheeseboard and crackling fire for special date nights.

It’s no surprise that fizz overflowing with notes of summer berries will pair well with fruity desserts, and this is a perfect example.

The name may not be as well known as the likes of Moët & Chandon, but Gosset is actually one of the oldest Champagne houses in the region, so it’s well worth the price tag.

Don’t be fooled by its pretty pink hue, this full-bodied fizz is powerful enough to pair with rich main courses. Try it with a lamb cutlet or lobster spaghetti if entertaining.

We love the rich, raspberry biscuit notes, but the underlying apple keeps each sip fresh and well balanced.

If flashy Cristal seems a little OTT for your taste, try Louis Roederer’s vintage rosé instead. It’s every bit as impressive, with four years in oak bringing out those decadent toasted notes.

However, it retains a freshness thanks to zesty apple, orange and tart grapefruit — a complex fizz for those that appreciate the finer things in life.

Moet & Chandon is a master in creating a consistently good cuvée year after year. Smelling like a summer meadow, it combines sweet berries with green apple, and while it lacks a little complexity, given the price, we still rate it for it’s easy drinking style.
