Dark copper in color.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity, and small bubbles.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouth feel.
Showing raspberries, lemons, apples, cherries, brioche, light earth, herbs, light yeast and white pepper.
Long finish with tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Rosé Champagne with some nice age. This 19-year-old is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and rich with tiny bubbles.
A little tight right out of the bottle, and needs time to show the complexity, especially on the nose. Easy drinking and needs 30 minutes in the decanter to open up properly.
Drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Wine Spectator 93 points. Wine Advocate 94 points.
Good by itself or with food. I enjoyed it with black caviar.
A blend of 47% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier. Disgorged in 2013.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$130.

Interestingly, the 2009 Extra Brut Grand Vintage Rosé is quite a bit tighter and pointed than the Blanc. Here, it is the wine’s energy and tension that stand out most. It will be interesting to see if the 2009 gains a bit more volume over time. Even today, though, the 2009 is beautifully resonant and expressive, with striking vinous intensity driving through to the finish. Hints of orange peel, mint, chalk and blood orange add shades of character. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2018)

Brilliant. Slight strawberry nose, tart flavors, great acid and mellowed by the creaminess..paired with hard cheeses.

Takes some time after opening it to pick up volume.

This dry, serious rosé has a strong orange peel flavor that reminds me of Campari. It went very well with pulled pork. Does at 5g/l and composed of 46% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay and 22% Meunier.

Perfect balance of fruit and acid. Luscious and bright with a slight sugar cookie quality.

Overlooked and underrated. This vintage is showing tremendously well right now.

Aged 11 years on lees. Rust/Salmon color in the glass. Earth-driven aromatics with dried cranberry, strawberry, raspberry. Dry and complex on the palate, very refined. Medium length finish.

Yes it's commercial but yes it's grand!! A gorgeous scent, salmon pink colour, well structured & full bodied on the palate but just oozing grace with tiny little beads.
Another engagement celebration.

Succulent and full of ripe red berries with great acidity. Healthy structure, could age for a few more years.
