"Those pink skins seem to be a little more durable, less prone to rot and perhaps less prone to sunburn for those heat events that are predicted to increase in frequency for the foreseeable future,"
"a natural mutation of white Chardonnay,"
"It presents a certain freshness in the wines, but it is above all the story it tells that makes it unique,"
Pink Chardonnay gained formal recognition in 2018 as Chardonnay Rose, enabling broader cultivation and research. The Comité Champagne approved the grape for Champagne production, making it the eighth grape permitted in Champagne. The grape is described as a natural mutation of white Chardonnay and retains a similar taste while providing freshness in wines. Winemakers note pink skins are more durable, less prone to rot, and may resist sunburn during increasing heat events. Wider acceptance is expected to increase plantings and consumer availability in wine shops.
