Drinks less like a rose than a pale red. Deceptively tight at first, needs air. Red berries, sour cherry, blood orange, herbal and floral tones, crystalline, beautiful and delicate.

What a color. So distinctive and ridiculously good. Cool climate fruit part of the spectrum, sour cherry, red plum and wild strawberry, blood orange, some blue and purple berries too, meeting with herbal stemmy whole cluster kind of stuff, flowers and game and chalk. Makes me wish I had a whole case but sadly only one bottle

This biodynamic Pinot noir is the red wine that comprises 5% of #leclercbriant Brut Rose! Bravo! So cool.

Totally fascinating. Definitely benefits from air. Not quite rosé, not quite red. Really cerebral, but also hedonistic. Mineral and fruity. My first Rosé des Riceys, but I think the producer is speaking more. So Rosé des Riceys it's not Rosé des Riceys?

2009. Tasted at cellar temp. Soft and juicy. Cranberry and sage. Ever so lightly tannic.

This wine just gets better & better! Drinking the last of it 2 days later. Would love to decant it next time. Lots of spice that's enhanced by the sharp, sharp acidity. Wine for thought. Another cerebral rosé!
