The colour range of white Champagne wines
A Champagne’s colour can vary from pale gold to green gold, from amber to yellow gold, from old gold to grey gold. But all these differences are not simply pleasures for the eye, they reveal much about the wine’s character, the length of time it has been aged for and the grapes that have been used. A light wine will have a clear colour, whilst a powerful wine will be darker. Wines become darker the longer they age.

Rosé Champagne wines
The alluring rosé colour of pink Champagne wines is usually obtained by adding red wine to white wine. The pleasure we get from them is surely both esthetic and psychological as their attractive tints evoke a wealth of tender feelings, and this is why they are so often the chosen partner for moments of tenderness. Just like the whites, their colour may range from light to dark, and their flavours from the lightest and most elegant through to the most full-bodied of all Champagne wines.
