比起金黃色的一般氣泡酒，洋溢著淡淡淺紅顏色的粉紅香檳不僅在色澤上更平添幾分浪漫氣息；在口感與滋味上也往往更深邃更渾厚，常散發出如溫帶水果與莓類、堅果，甚而是皮革、燻烤等狂野的芳香，充滿多元豐富的變化與耐人尋味的風貌與韻致，令人不能不為之分外沈醉。
至1996年才開始推出百年來第一支La Grande Dame Rose，足見凱歌香檳的慎重其事。以Chardonnay與Pinot Noir葡萄混合少許紅酒釀造而成，散發著成熟的紅肉水果香，結構細膩、餘韻悠長，呈現出著複雜豐富的面貌，甫推出便在各種酒評中名列前茅。
Each year, Wine Spectator editors survey the wines we've reviewed over the past 12 months and select the most exciting for our Top 100. In 2006, we reviewed nearly 13,500 wines from around the world in blind tastings. Nearly 3,000 of them earned outstanding ratings (90 points or higher on our 100-point scale). We then narrowed the list down based on four criteria: quality (represented by score); value (reflected by release price); availability (measured by case production or cases imported); and an X-factor we call excitement. But no equation determines the final selections: These choices reflect our editors' judgment and enthusiasm about the wines we tasted. Thirteen countries are represented in our 2006 list, making this the most diverse group in the history of the Top 100, which debuted in 1988. The average score of the group is 93 points, while the average price is $49. We hope our selections stimulate discussion, and lead people to a deeper engagement with the world of wine.
