(353 views) | | | Tasted by GTFreek on 8/23/2022: All Pinot Noir. Medium plus nose shows funk, light red fruits, truffle, light citrus. Palate very showy, toast, brioche, raspberry, then quite dry with phenolics. Nice complexity, would like to see it with a few years of age. (474 views) | | | Tasted by OldHick95 on 8/1/2021 & rated 94 points: Creamy and fresh. Strawberry shortcake, a squeeze of lemon, with pastry notes coming forward on the finish. Balanced sweetness and acidity. Excellent. (815 views) | | | Tasted by garderlokka on 11/28/2020: Frisk, god til mat, ble etterhvert noe ham.

Not much to add from my previous tasting note from same lot opened more than one year ago.
Very well structured Champagne - as others have said, slightly fruit driven but at the same time masculine in its structure
I find this to be a great example of a NV Champagne (1243 views) | | | Tasted by Rezy13 on 10/4/2019: Started out nicely rounded and somewhat delicate with acid buoying the round pink fruit, delightful as it was this picked up serious weight as the wine saw more air gaining in texture, nuance and power, the oak comes on later so decide before opening whether you want Jekyll or Hyde- both are really delicious. (1361 views) | | | Tasted by oropeza on 4/14/2019: Dusty red fruit with good mouthfeel and a nice, tight finish. Really nicely balanced, graceful all the way through. (1263 views) | | | Tasted by dsamuel on 1/1/2019 & rated 91 points: Disgorgement 9/1/16.
Light rose/copper color with green tint. Medium aromas of faint red fruit with floral/earth undertones and faint biscuit. Medium(+) palate of red fruit with tight mousse. Medium(+) acidity and quite dry. Nice finish. Only moderately complex but very elegant and well integrated. (1152 views) | | | Tasted by Quiet Lion on 7/10/2018 & rated 91 points: Very dry sparkling rose with peach and a touch of nut shell. Warming up, some pomelo on the finish. (1417 views) | | | Tasted by rustyRudy on 9/3/2016 & rated 89 points: Pretty color, nice bubbles. Solid. Moderate complexity. (2178 views) | | | Tasted by andrewdodd86 on 9/3/2016 & rated 90 points: Solid rose, nice light toast. Not too heavy. (2261 views) | | | Tasted by Thirsty1 on 12/13/2014: I had forgotten I had this a year ago. I didn't give it a great review then (8/13) and it hasn't improved. Actually this last bottle was flat, literally. No "pop" when opened. I bought two, not sure why, so I'll be sure to open this when my in-laws are over for noche buena. (2975 views) | | | Tasted by Thirsty1 on 12/12/2014: Consistent with previous. (2813 views) | | | Tasted by Allanrydercook on 11/16/2014 & rated 87 points: Began the evening with a magnum in celebration of birthdays with friends. (2900 views) | | | Tasted by Thirsty1 on 10/30/2014: This bottle is remarkably lighter than the last bottle I had. I checked it for a disgorgment date and there is none. It's just as good as the last bottle I had - but I did purchase this separately from the last bottle I had so it could be a different lot?
Much more youthful and just as delicious. Bright with a creamy and vibrant mousse. Citrus with a depth and texture not noticed before. If you like the Krug MV and Delamotte style, then this should appeal to you. Crisp acidity. It's all there. It's a winner and it's around $40ish. This one is becoming one of my go to NV bubbles. I'm going to have to look for some of there other offerings. (1882 views) | | | Tasted by Vinomark on 10/30/2014 & rated 91 points: Creamy, chalky, good acids, nice yellow and apple fruits. IMHO, I think it would benefit from more aging and still some unsettled tartness and edgy that would better appeal as it softens. (1910 views) | | | Tasted by Thirsty1 on 10/13/2014: Copper colored. Racy raspberry and strong acidity, stone. I liked it a lot - very aggressive champagne, not feminine at all. Like a race car - unusual for what I've had previous. I must try it again. (1341 views) | | | Tasted by JustNathan on 5/12/2014 & rated 85 points: This rose doesn't do it for me - it's all elegance but short on character. The colour is a pale rose, and aromas are typical wild strawberry, with some autolytic biscuity notes. The taste is clean and dry, but rather linear and unexciting. Decent finish. (1565 views) | | | Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 1/12/2014 & rated 90 points: Awesome Dinner with Friends (Erasmus, SQN, Saxum, Pride, Dehlinger++) (Out and about): Pale rose/copper colored in the glass. Thick mousse with small bubbles. Lots of strawberries on the nose. Slight lemon note. Slightly sweet on the attack. Finish is abrupt. This is very nice. Worked better once we had some food. (2346 views) | | | Tasted by Thirsty1 on 8/21/2013: I think this is a little overpriced at $50. Light salmon color, faint notes of red berry, broken stone, hay and chalk. Nice, clean effervesence. Slate midpallet and very precise. No yeast to speak of. Very clean and simple. It has no... siloutte. If this were a regular brut it would be around $30ish. I expect a little more from grower champagne. (1923 views) | | | Tasted by Allman74 on 6/15/2013 & rated 92 points: Crisp, clean and fresh. This was our first "grower" champagne and it was very lively and packed a punch. Obviously as a rose it was a bit more fruity, but still very crisp and refreshing. More than one person remarked that they "don't like champagne" but really liked this offering. (2042 views) | | | Tasted by pbarnet on 5/28/2013 & rated 90 points: Clear champagne with a hint of fruit on the nose and green apple on the tongue. Real Champagne pedigree (meaning no heavy sweetness on the front of the upper palette). Excellent value. (1648 views) | | | Tasted by Clos & Cru on 2/14/2013 & rated 84 points: cherry, raspberry, red currant but more sirup then fresh
on the palate quite alcohol, artificial red berry flavors. a bit flabby and short. seems like the base vintage from my bottle is 2009 as it very ripe and unbalanced. a bit disappointed after hearing good things about this producer (2001 views) | | | Tasted by roasted hill on 6/24/2012: A rose champagne. Consistent notes with subtle nose of lightest red berry. Not yeasty. Red fruit, light on the palate, and nicely complementing a Mediterranean-based summer meal. (2200 views) | | | Tasted by JBVino on 12/16/2011: solid champagne...ditto comments below...really good acidity and length...pinot really shines. novices and the more knowledgable both seemed to enjoy (2133 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| N.V. Dosnon Champagne Recolte RoseWinemaker Notes:
The base wine for the Recolte Rose starts as a Blanc de Noirs of Pinot Noir with an addition of Pinot Meunier giving it its salmon-pink hue. Pinot Meunier is not as common in the Cote des Bar as Pinot Noir but Davy feels that its bring a lovely spice and fruit to his Rose. With the base wine fermented and aged in used Puligny-Montrachet barrels and a minimum of 2 years aging in bottle with a dosage of 7g/L (the same as the Recolte Noire) it bears all the hallmarks of the Donson style – pure, focused, intensely mineral but with a clear, spicy, red-fruit and orange peel lift to the flavors.Pinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of consistent quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:
Champagne - The French region of Champagne (including the cities of Rheims, Épernay, and Aÿ) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and wine-making traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range in sweetness ranging from an extra brut or brut 0, to the basic brut to demi sec to doux; some houses produce single vintage champagnes and others produce non-vintage (or incorporate wines/grapes of multiple vintages), often to preserve a specific taste; combinations of grape varietals; and colors, including a rosé. There are several sub-appellations, including the Valley of the Marnes river running from Épernay west, Massif de Saint-Thierry north and west of Rheims, Valley of the Ardre, the Mountains of Rheims (between Rheims and Épernay), Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and Côte des Bar in the South. Champagne wine only uses three grape varietals (cépages): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.ChampagneThe vineyards of Champagne on weinlagen-info |
