Wine Quiz Answer: B. Rose Champagne
All Champagne is made by a blending, or assemblage, of multiple still wines prior to the addition of yeast and sugar that will spark its second fermentation. When making a rose champagne, color is achieved by blending in a small proportion of a still red wine, most commonly Pinot Noir. The wine must meet the appellation guidelines of Champagne, in terms of origin and quality standards. In exceptional years, this still red Pinot Noir is occasionally bottled and sold as one of France's rarest wines; Coteaux Champenois Rouge. Most other rose wines are made by abbreviating a wine's contact with the dark grape skins
