The sun is out, the days stretch longer, it's summertime, which means it's champagne time. Stars of the show: Blanc de Blancs and Rosé Champagnes. These styles are taking center stage during the sunny season. Let’s explore why they’re the best Champagnes for summer.
Blanc de Blancs Champagnes
Think of Blanc de Blancs as the crisp, refreshing sip of summer you've been craving. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, this type of champagne brings the zing with its citrusy vibes – think lemon, lime, and a splash of green apple. But it's not just about the fruit – there's a touch of minerality that gives it that extra uniqueness, like a cool breeze on a hot day.
Pairing Blanc de Blancs with food is a match made in heaven, especially during the summer months when fresh, light dishes are on the menu. Its crisp acidity and citrusy character make it the perfect companion for seafood, such as oysters, shrimp, or grilled fish. For a refreshing summer salad, try pairing Blanc de Blancs with a classic Niçoise or Caprese salad, featuring ripe tomatoes and creamy mozzarella. For dessert, keep it light and refreshing with a fruit tart or sorbet. Blanc de Blancs' crisp acidity will cleanse the palate and refresh the senses, leaving you feeling invigorated and satisfied.

Rosé Champagnes
Mostly a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes, this dynamic duo brings the party to your palate with their red fruit explosion. Picture yourself biting into a juicy strawberry or popping a raspberry straight off the vine – that's the kind of flavors we're talking about. Rosé champagne is like a bouquet of summer blooms, with notes of strawberries, raspberries, and just a hint of citrus to keep things interesting. It's like sipping sunshine in a glass, perfect for romantic dinners, rooftop sunsets, or just treating yourself to a little slice of luxury.
So, whether you're lounging by the pool, hosting a BBQ with friends, or enjoying a romantic evening under the stars, Blanc de Blancs and Rosé champagnes are your go-to companions for summer fun.
Cheers to a summer filled with unique artisan champagnes!
