Domaine Chandon – Brut Rose Recipe

Serve

1. 1

   Chill the bottle of Domaine Chandon Brut Rosé to serving temperature (recommended 40–45°F / 4–7°C). Place bottle in refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours or in an ice bucket with equal parts ice and water for 20–30 minutes.

2. 2

   Select a clean, appropriate glass: a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass, flute, or white wine glass. Rinse briefly with chilled water and drain to slightly cool the glass without leaving water droplets.

3. 3

   Carefully remove the foil and loosen the wire cage while keeping a thumb on the cork. Hold the bottle at a 45° angle away from people and noise-sensitive items. While holding the cork, twist the bottle (not the cork) slowly to ease the cork out with a gentle sigh rather than a loud pop.

4. 4

   Pour the wine slowly into the glass, first filling about one-third, then top up to about two-thirds full to allow the aromas to open and bubbles to develop. Aim to pour down the side of the glass to preserve effervescence.

5. 5

   If using garnish: hull and slice the fresh strawberry and drop half into the glass gently, or express a lemon twist over the glass to release oils and rim the glass once before dropping it in. Both garnishes are optional—serve plain for a classic presentation.

6. 6

   Serve immediately. Recommend tasting notes to share with guests: delicate salmon-pink color, vibrant red-berry aromatics, fine mousse, crisp acidity, and a balanced finish.
