Renowned for being well made, medium gold color, fine bubbles and mousse, aromas of fresh stone fruits, warm biscuits and hints of floral, blend of 66% pinot noir and 34% chardonnay. On the palate fresh fruit flavors of white peaches, cherries and baked apple with hints of citrus zest. Long elegant finish ending with rich yeasty mineral character. Bring on the tuna tartare! — 3 months ago

One of the bottles I brought for a guys night of rosé sparklers and Brunello.

I’ve been on the Ultramarine list for close to 10yrs. I’ve opened bottles young, old and everywhere in-between (both based on vintage and in relation to disgorgement), and after such a disappointing experience with the 2020s (after reading all the CT notes, I opened a ‘20 of each cuveé and found a profile that is not reminiscent of the early Ultramarine days at all), I wanted to open something that reminded me of the good ‘ol days with Ultramarine.

Amongst Egly’s rosé, Krug’s rosé, Westborn’s rosé and tons of grower champagnes, this wasn’t a standout but it was enjoyable and paired beautifully with the food. This bottle was closer in experience to the 2014 (good richness, fruit, but also big structure) vs the 2016 (lighter/brighter, more mineral). Salmon color in the glass with a dash of pink. Not overly reductive or oxidative with waves of red berry fruit and strawberry marscapone. Lovely richness on the palate with some strawberry shortbread cookies amongst more red berry fruit but a nice mineral streak down the middle. Layered. Mousse isn’t quite creamy but it’s soft. Nod to grower champagne with Cali warmth.

This is in a nice integrated spot where the fruit is taking a step back and dancing with the mineral notes. No rush to open, but worth popping soon. — a day ago

Pale gold with fine bubbles. Fresh aromas of green apple, pear, lemon, lime, and orange blossom. The palate offers notes of toast and pastry, balanced by high acidity and a delicate, effervescent texture. The finish is medium-plus and clean. While elegant and refined, it feels slightly restrained in its depth and complexity.
