Rosé Champagne Veuve Clicquot

If you’re a yellow label devotee, you'll love this fruity pink champagne. It has all the freshness of the traditional blend, but fills the palate with a coppery burst of tart red cherry and raspberry, wrapped up in a long, dry finish. Try balancing the acidity by serving with slices of tuna or duck breast – or do as Mariotti would, and pair with a classic bouillabaisse.

Here, a delicate florality perfumes the glass before offering up crunchy green apple and just a hint of summer fruits. Refreshing acidity and smooth bubbles make this a particularly food-friendly example, pairing well with a variety of dishes — from tuna to start through to fruity sorbets for dessert.

If you just can't wait for a taste of summer, look no further — it’s all about the shimmering strawberries and cream here. The house uses a relatively high percentage of chardonnay in the blend, which brings with it a certain freshness. Lively, fruity and refreshing, this was a hit with our testers.

We don’t advocate keeping anything for ‘best’, but should you have the cellar conditions (and a great deal of patience), this complex champagne will only benefit from ageing. However, with notes of rich pastry and cherries, this pomegranate pink fizz is drinking exceptionally well right now.

This full-flavoured fizz has all the rich, savoury, brioche notes associated with the Bollinger brand, having been aged for twice as long as is strictly required. Polished and weighty, it’s dominated by pinot noir (making up 62 per cent of the blend), which brings with it ripe wild berries and a touch of plum. While delicious as a pre-dinner drink on a spring evening, this will also pair well with grilled prawns through to fruity desserts.

Part of the Gonzales Byass portfolio (which is responsible for some of our favourite everyday wines, including Beronia and Tio Pepe sherry), this salmon-pink bubbly would be a delight with creamy cheeses and slices of cured ham. Juicy ripe strawberry and fresh green apple keep each mouthful fresh, while the smooth bubbles ensure it’s a real crowd-pleaser.

Grand Rosé Brut Champagne Gosset

Lively and fruity with bittersweet raspberry, ripe strawberry and juicy cherry, this is calling out to be paired with a bowl of Eton mess, eaten al fresco. Dating back to 1584 (which makes Gosset one of the oldest wine houses in Champagne), this cuvée has such a minimal amount of reserve wine added, it could almost be classed as a vintage.

Louis Roederer’s iconic Cristal may be its flagship cuvée but this vintage rosé champagne is just as impressive. Aged in oak for four years, it expresses a touch of toastiness but is still fresh, with zesty pink grapefruit and tart green apple on the palate.

Brut Rose NV Champagne Billecart-Salmon

This full-bodied blush is ideal for pairing with meaty mains. Rich and decadent with delicious biscuit on the nose, we’d pair it with lobster or roast lamb, served pink. The richness is beautifully balanced with tart strawberry and cherry, leading to a velvety smooth finish.

Rosé NV Champagne Laurent-Perrier

Rather unusually, Laurent-Perrier only uses pinot noir grapes to produce its full-bodied fizz. Using the saignée method (meaning ‘to bleed’ in French), this technique draws the pink juice from the grapes, as opposed to mixing red and white wine. The result? A classically full-bodied wine, with fresh, light strawberry and raspberry notes, leading to a rich nutty finish. There’s a reason it’s our go-to aperitif.

Moët & Chandon's light offering is undoubtedly an easy drinker: the sort that can be opened mid-week with little thought. Delicately floral, with sweet red fruit, it’s our celebration standby.

While this isn't strictly a champagne, it is a perfectly refreshing alternative for anyone abstaining from alcohol. The blend of grape juice and green tea boasts a pleasing acidity and crisp palate.
