My ‘ house’ wine shared w friends & paired with baked Cod & Roquefort sauce, roasted vegetables, & barley. Pretty in color & on the palate: rusted rose hips, some distant forest floor. Medium plus acidity but enough to cut through the Roquefort sauce, & low enough tannins to not spar with the cod. — 4 years ago

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.

All kinds of green garden aroma, strawberry, and light cherry on the nose... On the palate, this is very much alive with flavors of raspberry, strawberry, maybe nectarine. Floral scents pop through as well. Make no mistake about it... This is cheap and cheerful, but the very best of cheap and cheerful. We buy this a lot. Try the red and the white as well. They are all tremendous at this price category. Perrin is a name we see a lot of in our area, and for those interested in trying the rest of their range, I encourage that. Many years ago, I used this house's wines as my introduction to the characteristic styles of the different villages in the southern Rhone. I guess that's why I feel connected to the house even in their cheaper expressions. This rose wine pairs well with so many foods with its acidity, so it makes a great go-to. Buy it by the bottle. Buy it by the box. — 5 years ago

The White Burgundy was excellent but, still have to have my BSR 375ml. It’s been awhile for us.

It is a little better tonight following the Burgundy & soft white cheese.

The nose on this bottle really flows out of the glass tonight. Beautiful lean fruits of; blackberries, black cherries, cherries, strawberries, watermelon near the rind, blood orange, orange & tangerine & some pomegranate. Crisp volcanic minerals, saline, sea fossils, baguette crust, vanillin, whiff of caramel, soft white spice, pink flowers and rose pedals.

Everything on the palate sings just a little louder tonight as well. Fruits are even a little richer than normal. Ripe & slightly gummy not as normal leaner fruits of; blackberries, black cherries, cherries, strawberries, watermelon near the rind, blood orange, orange & tangerine & some pomegranate. Crisp and grippy, volcanic minerals, beautiful softer, powdery chalkiness w/o quite the sharper edge it normally has, soft, hints of Provence herbs, saline, sea fossils, baguette crust, vanillin, whiff of caramel, soft white spice, pink flowers and rose pedals. The acidity is crisp, lively and dead on as alway. The long, rich, well balanced finish is deliciously refreshing and persists minutes.

A shockingly vibrant orange color with reddish pink accents. The bubbles are tiny and persistent. 45/35/20 PN/CH/PM with 15% of still Pinot Noir added in and it shows. The sweetness level is fine and appropriate at 9 g/ dosage. Fresh raspberries on the nose immediately and they never leave. Plums and strawberries make their mark along with a touch of brioche buns and butterscotch.

Sleek, elegant, and sexy. This has all the markings of a big champagne house rosé and that’s not a bad thing. As pleasant as a warm spring day with flowers blooming all around with that extra generosity and class you expect. Very sensual and lush in your mouth and on your tongue. Wonderful minerality and red fruits on the palate. Earthiness and spice make themselves known, as well. A dash of smoke on the medium to long finish. Truly exquisite stuff, especially for a NV bottle. — 5 years ago
