Rosé Champagne was invented by the Maison Ruinart in 1764, but it was at the end of the 20th century that the trade of this type became significant.

There are two ways to obtain Rosé: blending and saignée. In the first method, which is the most widespread in Champagne, the assembled Rosé is obtained through a blend of wine from white grapes, such as Chardonnay, and wine from red grapes, such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Champagne is the only French rosé wine that can be produced with this method.

The production of Rosé Champagne through "saignée" refers instead to the ancestral production method which consists in leaving the grapes to macerate with the must for a few dozen hours so that the wine takes on a rosé color thanks to the coloring substances present in the peels. This technique releases a range of flavors of rich and unique power.
