Light, light pink. Practically translucent. More like the faded memory of pink chiffon. It’s such a visually lovely wine. Lovely effervescence as well, with plenty of tiny bubbles that go on and on. The nose is lithe and fresh with cherries and lavender. Raspberry crème and pomegranates come together with some mild spice. Sultry rose petals remind you that this whole show is really about romance.
A brilliant Oeil de Perdrix rosé from Vesselle that has breadth and depth. 100# Pinot Noir from Bouzy with Brut dosage. Very nice structure throughout plus most importantly, this champagne has a soul. Personality and character. Robust yet refined, this is nice and long with deep. The palate blooms with more luscious red fruits and buoyant citrus. A real treat, one I’ll be having again soon. — 4 years ago
Classically made NV Brut, and grower on top of all that! On the nose, Golden delicious apples, honeysuckle and toast. In the mouth, white flowers, lemon zest, distinct minerality and brioche. Medium long finish. Good QPR. — 8 years ago

From 375mL. The “Rosé de Saignée” pours almost a fuchsia color with a transparent core and a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe strawberry, raspberry, red apple and chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with low tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Round and rustic in style. Lovely. Drink now. Disgorged February of 2023 — 5 months ago
