Pale pink-orange in color. Chalky nose with lifted light red berries, orange and lemon zest. Quite straightforward on the palate that shows medium volume to the tart berry fruit, high acidity and a chalky finish.

Love this bottle. It’s fresh, and fun. Light red fruit like strawberry, and sweet grapefruit, with good balancing mineral dust, , dried citrus peel, and lovely fresh acidity. This is a solid bottle, and an “every year purchase”! I will add that the Sable from Aubry was just incredible that I drank with this wine. Smashing rosé!

Pale salmon pink in color. Vigorous, medium beads. Refreshing and easy to drink with tangy red berries, good acidity, hint of orange/lemon citrus zest and a mineral finish.

According to the back label (which is specific to an importer in Italy) this is 50% chardonnay, 35% "pinots", 15% meunier vinified as red wine. Tirage 7/2020, disgorged 02/2022.
(However, I note that the batch currently being sold on the producer's website has a rather different composition, and the wine I have really doesn't look or feel like it's 15% red wine, so I'm a little sceptical.)
After a little air this has red fruits (redcurrant, wild strawberry) and a touch of minerality on the nose. These follow on the palate to be joined by a very pleasant creamy note on entry, proceeding to a crisp and drying (but not very long) finish.
Overall this is a very decent rosé fizz - perfect as a house champagne - good as an aperitif and with light food. And OK QPR at the ~US$46 that I paid.

-- popped and poured -- -- tasted non-blind over approx. 2 hrs. -- -- blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and bit of still red wine in the mix, too --
NOSE: light and chalky.
BODY: pale salmon color
TASTE: light; leans a bit vinous; I'd guess a Pinot Noir - Chardonnay, if blind --- I would never guess there's still red wine in here, as it comes across as very light. Overall, very good, and a borderline re-buy around $45; imo, not as good as the 1er Brut, which sells for about $10 less (and would be my house bubbles if availability were better).

Aubry Fils Champagne Premier Cru Brut Rosé) Light orange pink color with abundant, steady, tiny bubbles; yeasty, tart golden raspberry nose; tasty, poised, tart golden raspberry, mineral, tart lemon palate; medium-plus finish (40% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 12% Pinot Meunier, 13% still red wine; Chard sees neutral oak; 2010 fruit except for the still red; disgorged Dec. 2012) 92+ points
(NV L. Aubry Fils Champagne Premier Cru Brut Rosé) Light salmon pink color with lots of tiny bubbles; tart strawberry, tart raspberry nose; tart strawberry, tart raspberry palate with near medium acidity; medium-plus finish (45% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 15% still red Pinot Meunier; all 2008 fruit)
(NV L. Aubry Fils Champagne Premier Cru Brut Rosé) Light medium pink orange color; strawberry cream, tart red fruit nose; tasty, very tart strawberry, tart cherry palate; medium-plus finish (a major step down from last year's version)
(NV L. Aubry Brut Rosé) ($64.00) All ’08. 45%CH, 40%PN, 15% still red of PM. Very dry; disgorged 1/11. As always, copper-river salmon and violets and blackberries, all of the ’08 flowers and groseille; it’s lost a little length to disgorgement, but lots of peony and freesia and bath salts. It’s the most studiedly dry Rosé in this offering. Lallement you sense can’t help itself, but this has been chiseled away to the spinal column of fruit.

Aubry Fils Champagne Premier Cru Brut Rosé) Light medium pink orange color; chalky, mineral, tart cherry, tart cantaloupe nose; tight, tasty, very tart orange, tart cantaloupe, creamy textured, hybiscus, mineral palate, needs 1-2 years; medium-plus finish 91+ points (55% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 15% Pinot Meunier red wine)
