Fruits noirs, des épices au nez comme en bouche qui est magnifique, c’est puissant et équilibré en même temps, texture soyeuse, finale très longue, gros niveau, très chic et encore super jeune. 93-94

🏅Rating 92/100 (4,2⭐)
I always struggle with rose champagnes. Somehow they don't convince me and almost never justify the price tag. But there are a few which I am satisfied with.
Cuvee Elisabeth is definitely in my top list. Its first vintage is 1988 and was created as a counterpart to another prestige cuvee of the house Nicolas François.
This cuvee is about the elegance and finesse rather than the power. Made of equal parts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir it is blended with less than 10% of red wine from old vines in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ.
Chic rose color with copper hue. Reductive style with a cooler 2007 vintage showing through. Apricot jam, candied citrus, sugar powdered red berries. Delicate bitter cool and dry finish. Disg. in Feb 2019 after spending impressive 11 years on lees. The dosage of 6 g/l is enough to reach the perfect balance.

Wow! $8.99 at total wine and such a bargain!! Deep jammy nose with a wonderful aftertaste. It’s got hints of graphite, dried cherries and the feeling of a nice autumn afternoon. Yum. GO buy some of this wine. — 8 years ago

Drank half last night. Tonight, this was a nice pair with blackened tuna. Big blackfruit with a little residual sugar cut the Cajun spices just right for me. My beautiful wife and her equally chic mother are having Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio with salmon. I really dislike salmon.

I had El Guardado Chic Rosé Malbec Bodega La Guarda — 8 years ago
Bejeweled and rich garnet red flares encapsulate any wine glass in hand. Vibrate notes of glistening cherries carry forward and transition to simple earth undertones, followed by more red fruit. Chic tannins with a lingering finish. A must have in your wine cellar for a special night with special friends! — 3 years ago

Color of ripe plum with pronounced legs on the glass. Deep fruity nose with tanned leather over loamy earth tones. Lots of fruit on the palate develops a rich, full body. But deeply dry like a French wine should be. Tannin finish with berries and leather on the lips. Best of Bordeaux with some Napa thrown in. Tres chic, dude! A wine to enjoy now while you can. — 8 years ago
