Sushi and Champagne at Billy's (Billy Sushi, Mpls, MN): Pale salmon color. Drank a glass over 30 minutes. Very toasty, depth and energy; red berries, creamy and textural, long and delicious, nice mineral contrasts. Love it. 92+ to 93pts.

Brought to a dinner with friends. Red apple, strawberry, slight yeast, good acids, great mouthfeel. Enjoyed and picked up locally the past year for $50 and at that price its a rebuy all day long.

In this battle of the grower vs the grand marque, Charles Heidsieck stole the show (for me). The Paillard is a leaner, cleaner style, but felt a bit lacking in energy and complexity. Still a good wine, though, and I find that Paillard’s single vineyard bottlings are where this producer really shines. The Heidsieck was incredibly complex and rich on the nose, packing in so much vinuous punch from those reserve wines. The Heidsieck brut reserve (non rose) has become a bit of a house wine for me, so I clearly enjoy the style, but this was my first experience with the Heidsieck rose and it really impressed me. Awesome wine, and a heck of a deal.

A really excellent rose, as described by others.
