Recommended wine: Champagne, Bordeaux, White Burgundy

French works really well with Champagne, Bordeaux, and White Burgundy. French wine is just as diverse as French food, but you rarely go wrong with champagne. If your meal calls for a white wine, you might also try a white burgundy. For a red, try a red bordeaux blend. The Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut rosé with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 100 dollars per bottle.

Champagne Barons de Rothschild Brut Rose

Barons de Rothschild Rosé shows assertive finesse in a blend of Champagne's greatest Chardonnays and its top Pinot Noir. The highproportion of Chardonnay makes this exceptional Rose fine and vivacious, while Pinot Noir makes it delicately, harmoniously complex;a delight to the senses. The first taste is fresh and precise, melting into the palate like silk, with slight raspberry undertones. It featuresfine, subtle aromas, reminiscent of spring, alongside the fragrance of rose petal, wild strawberry, and a hint of citrus zest. Thefine thread of bubbles ends in a thin, enduring foam, and its light color offers the slight shimmer of salmon pink. This wine is long,balanced and full of delicious body. The harmony of the fruit and the lightness of this champagne bear a complexity the most experienced palates are sure to appreciate and distinctively embodies the Rothschild family's winemaking values: perfection, constancy, and a spirit of excellence and refinement, all given the utmost of care.Blend: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Noir
