Wafflart-Antoniolli Brut Rosé, Champagne, France 🇫🇷

The Moment

Some rosé Champagne is built around charm.
Others are built around presence.

Wafflart-Antoniolli Brut Rosé feels like the kind of bottle that lands beautifully in that second lane — bright red fruit up front, but with enough chalk, savory detail, and structure to make it feel like real Champagne rather than just pink bubbles. Strawberry, red currant, and blood orange layered over chalk and light brioche, with a palate that is dry and precise and a clean, savory finish.

A blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Pinot Meunier, aged for roughly 18 months on the lees. A rosé Champagne with both fruit and frame — expressive enough for a first sip.

What It Feels Like

Think prosciutto on the board, salmon on the table, and a bottle that starts festive but keeps getting more interesting.

What makes this wine work is the balance between fruit and restraint. Less bright and fruit-forward than the house’s saignée rosé, with more restrained fruit and pronounced mineral notes, and a refreshing, slightly savory finish. Feels like rosé Champagne for people who want elegance and shape, not just berry sweetness.

In the Glass

Aromatics
Strawberry, red currant, blood orange, chalk, and light brioche.

Palate
Dry, precise, and structured, with red berry fruit, subtle savory notes, and firm acidity.

Texture
Fine mousse with a little body underneath, more vinous and grounded than a purely airy aperitif sparkler. 

Finish
Clean, savory, and mineral, with red fruit and chalk carrying through the close.

Why We Love This Bottle

Rosé Champagne With Real Shape
The clearest throughline in the current notes is that this is not a soft, candy-fruited rosé. It is dry, precise, and structured, with savory and chalky notes that make it feel much more complete.

Pinot Noir And Meunier Done Well
Pinot Noir and Meunier working together in a very useful way here — red fruit and body from Pinot Noir, freshness and charm from Meunier.

A Great Food Rosé Champagne
Current public pairing guidance around this wine points toward pork, shellfish, rich fish, and mild cheeses, while one retailer even suggests it with lamb. That tells you it has more dinner-table range than a simple celebratory bottle.

Pair It With

• Salmon
• Shellfish
