The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry, raspberry, grapefruit, lime and baker's yeast. It tastes like strawberry, raspberry, red currant, grapefruit, lemon, lime, apple, peach, apple blossom, baker's yeast, biscuity and leesy. The body is medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. (850 views) | | | Tasted by GasperTheWineGuy on 12/2/2023 & rated 88 points: Soft and elegant, strawberry with a smooth finish. Great cocktail wine. (1219 views) | | | Tasted by OldHick95 on 12/2/2023 & rated 90 points: Soft and creamy, the flavor reminded me of those individually wrapped strawberry Christmas candies. Maybe too much Hallmark Channel that night. (1090 views) | | | Tasted by Treldman on 10/8/2023 & rated 88 points: Gorgeous salmon pink in the glass with a nose of unripe strawberries, some toasted character, and a citrus character like lemon or grapefruit. On the palate the wine is refreshing and vibrant with a lovely mouthfeel from smooth bubbles, fresh acidity, and notes of lemon, strawberry, and pear. Not exceedingly complex but still a lovely sparkling rose, and fair value.

Broad palate, slightly sweet strawberry. Simple yet charming. (403 views) | | | Tasted by J&M Cave à vin on 5/28/2023 & rated 89 points: Nice easydrinking brunch wine (1476 views) | | | Tasted by Gnomie on 5/3/2023: Nice (1105 views) | | | Tasted by Rodenbach99 on 4/18/2023 & rated 85 points: La robe est bien rose. Un nez avec une touche de toast. La bouche est aigre, un peu trop acide pour être intéressant. Ça pique la bouche. (1284 views) | | | Tasted by Elpaninaro on 1/7/2023: bright salmon color, soft nose of citrus and berry, on the palate light yet plush in its way with a hint of cream, berry notes, genteel finish, very pretty and an exceptional selection in its price range.
***, ready to drink (1683 views) | | | Tasted by kosmik on 12/25/2022 & rated 85 points: Quelconque. (1271 views) | | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 12/3/2022 & rated 86 points: Not bad with strawberries, raspberries, spice and floral notes. Refreshing. (1423 views) | | | Tasted by @yourfavoritewino on 11/6/2022: Always a crowd pleaser (1277 views) | | | Tasted by ThistleB on 10/14/2022 & rated 88 points: Strawberry bubbly (1207 views) | | | Tasted by Tonesqz on 9/25/2022: Veiholmen (869 views) | | | Tasted by gilbe70 on 9/14/2022 & rated 89 points: Nice fruit forward, if maybe a bit too sweet. Strawberries (809 views) | | | Tasted by Lyubomir Lefterov on 9/11/2022 & rated 89 points: Jumpy, lively, fruit forward but not overwhelmingly so. With garlic shrimps, went smoothly. (678 views) | | | Tasted by Brendel on 8/29/2022 & rated 90 points: This continues to be nice bubbly. The color is good, a copper tinted pink, of medium darkness. On the palate and nose the wine is quite linear; a bit chalky and hard on the palate with no brioche / yeast, but good acidity. We retain our rating of 90 pts.
Sadly the price of this has increased dramatically for us, around $26 now. It was an incredible bargain at $15 a few years ago: now it is still not bad value but not great either. (675 views) | | | Tasted by Lyubomir Lefterov on 6/4/2022 & rated 87 points: Nice colour as expected, slightly on the darker side. Muted strawberries, decent freshness, OK for garden party, but average at best. (885 views) | | | Tasted by scyrene on 5/23/2022 & rated 85 points: Pale, cool pink colour. Nice, full aroma, reminds me of good pinot-dominated champagnes (I presume this has pinot noir in it?). Chewy, slightly caramelly, a touch of grilled blood orange. Sweeter than expected, but quite balanced. Clean, pretty good fruit, a little strawberry emerges after a time. Not a showstopper but drinks well and a pretty good price. The next day, still ok although a touch of bitterness has crept in. [Cork + cage; 12% abv; Sainsbury's, reduced from £15 to £12]. (961 views) | | | Tasted by Amberissey on 4/15/2022 & rated 83 points: Pretty nice nose of red berry sorbet and flowers, but a quite soapy flavour that wasn’t for me (1218 views) | | | Tasted by buymoreredsdrinkmorewhites on 4/9/2022: Very nice rose cremant, both tart & sweet fruit, cherry blossom, some orange pith. Maybe just a tad sweet on the dosage, but nonetheless a very nice offering and very smooth with no bite on the finish, a plus for us. (961 views) | | | Tasted by tjin on 3/7/2022 & rated 87 points: Nice bubbles with hints of strawberry, pleasant and easy drinking. (1141 views) | | | Tasted by johnny wine on 2/14/2022 & rated 89 points: Delighfull and classy , creamy mousse and extra dry red strawberry and rose grapefruits, vibrant bubbles add pleasure. (969 views) | | | Tasted by Ozric on 1/14/2022 & rated 87 points: Nose: Some sweet red fruit and gooseberry. Slight yeast and bread.
Palate: medium mousse, quite low acid. Apple and strawberry/raspberry.
Decent QPR but not that interesting. (1148 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Louis Bouillot Producer websiteN.V. Louis Bouillot Crémant de Bourgogne Rosé Brut Perle d'AuroreOur "Pearl of the Dawn is a brilliant salmon pink from the Burgundian Pinot Noir that goes into this lovely, fruity Crémant de Bourgogne.
Varietal(s):
80% Pinot Noir & 20% Gamay
Winemaking:
To create such a beautiful, aromatic rosé, we begin with a pneumatic pressing combined with short maceration on the skins. We follow this with the méthode traditionnelle, involving a bottle fermentation of at least 24 months, far past the legal requirement of 9 months, to ensure that the lees impart the maximum aromas and finesse to our wine.
Visual Aspect:
Salmon pink
Nose:
Fine bubbles and light moss developing blackcurrant and strawberry's fruity notes.
Palate:
Fruity notes are mixed with a nice acidity that follows the taste until the end.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)
Wine Scholar Guild vintage ratings
2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
