Avis professionnels

James Suckling (91)

A fruity and earth rosé with sliced cooked strawberries and fruit tea. Full body. More like a light red. Flavorful finish.

Disgorged in October 2018 – and we're very grateful for this information! 42% Pinot Noir, of which 13% was still, plus 35% Chardonnay and 23% Pinot Meunier. Five years on the lees and a relatively low dosage of 5 g/l.
Quite a deep bronzey-pink. Smells much richer than you expect from such a low-dosage wine. It also tastes richer. Opulent wine that's quite ready now. No real need to age this. Though the balance is fine for now. Mouth-filling and creditable.

Disgorged in February 2018 with five grams per liter dosage, the 2012 Extra Brut Grand Vintage Rosé bursts with expressive aromas of cherries, red berries, peaches and marzipan. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a similarly broad and fleshy profile to its white counterpart, but with more phenolic structure from the 13% still Pinot Noir in the blend, which lends it a seemingly drier, chalkier finish even though the two cuvées saw the same dosage. The more-concentrated regular Extra Brut has the edge over the Rosé, but this is a creditable effort.

Expressive flavors of dried cherry, singed orange peel and red licorice are backed by a firm spine of acidity in this racy rosé Champagne, which is tightly meshed and balanced, with the creamy mousse carrying hints of salty mineral and grilled nut on the mouthwatering finish. Disgorged October 2018. Drink now through 2032.
