Food Pairing

You can drink Sparkling Wines to almost everything.

Sparkling wines are extremely versatile for food pairing. This is especially true for Sparkling Rosés.

Crémant Rosé pairs very well with salty food, because the bubbles break up the salt in the mouth. The acidity and bubbles also pair well with creamy and oily dishes.

The Ideal Glass for Crémant Rosé

A Flute Glass has a tall and narrow bowl to emphasize the aromas of the wine. The shape also helps balance the acidity found in sparkling wines.

Flutes also preserve bubbles by reducing the surface area at the top, which slows the release of carbonation, keeping a sparkling wine fizzy for longer.

Crémant Rosé Cheese Pairing

Brie and Camembert

The creamy, buttery texture and mild flavors of Brie or Camembert pair well with Crémant Rosé's soft bubbles and fruity notes. Serve the cheese at room temperature with slices of pear or apple.

Chèvre (Goat Cheese)

The tangy, fresh flavors of goat cheese complement the acidity often found in Crémant Rosé, especially those made from Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc. Drizzle with a bit of honey or sprinkle with fresh herbs.

Chaource

This creamy, slightly tangy cheese enhances Crémant Rosé's gentle acidity and complements its soft bubbles. Serve with fresh berries or a touch of apricot jam.

Langres

This mild, washed-rind cheese has a creamy texture and a subtle tang that pairs beautifully with Crémant Rosé. Add a small drop of honey or serve with fresh grapes.

Tomme de Savoie

This semi-hard, nutty cheese pairs beautifully with the gentle effervescence and often fruity character of Crémant Rosé. Add some dried fruits or nuts to highlight the pairing.


Alcohol can be addictive. Always drink in moderation.
