I like Chandon's Blanc de Blanc but didn't like their Blanc de Noirs. Another good cheap Rose/Blanc de Noirs is the Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noirs, sub $20.

If you really want to impress her, the Billecart Salmon Rose NV is absolutely stellar, but runs about $100. Billecart's Brut Reserve NV can be had for $40-50 and is also excellent.
