Last minute wine lunch (Gary's): Drank about 1/6th of the bottle over an hour. Bright red fruit which seems rather primary. I can't get it out of my head that this reminds me of carbonated red Koolaid, there seems to be a similarity there. Even so, this has been a pleasant but understated champagne and clearly others enjoyed it more than me.

Wine Lunch (Gary's Place, Hudson, WI): Medium plus sockeye salmon color. Drank a glass over an hour. Strawberry, sea spray, rising dough, almond liqueur, candied cherry, allspice, river stones, elegant and classy. This was a little warmer than ideal which had some impact.

Strawberries and dark fruit for a bubbly. I didn’t pick up some of the more traditional bread or toast notes as others have. A bit spendy for the quality IMHO. I prefer Billecart Salmon at this price point.

During a MOT walkabout tasting. A Rosé de Saignée (or maceration one should rather say), darker pitched than the blended ones. I actually like this more. If feels authentically "red wine-ish" not just in color, but also on the palate with with lovely phenolics. The base NV Rosé Cuvée was already very good (94pt) and the Cuvee Alexandre (95pt) even more refined, but also 3x the price.
Red cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, ripe watermelon, tarragon, bread dough, and a whiff of baking spice. Slight tannins add structure. Acidity is lower and body is fuller than average. Deep color of shiny new copper penny and salmon color. Maceration method, 48-72 hours at 15C. 100% Pinot Noir. Stainless steel. Full MLF. 15-20% reserve wines of 1-2 years old. 5+ years on lees. 9 g/L. -Much from WSG Champagne class with Essi Avellan

Leap Day Lunch (Ciao Bella, Mpls): Light medium salmon color. Drank a glass over an hour. Absolutely on point again. Fresh, bright, sensous, strawberry, tarragon, sea breezes, floral, lifted, elegant and fabulous. Loved it as usual.

Valentine's Day with Steve & Barbara (Their House): Disgorged in the 3rd quarter of 2019 based on the C91 printed on the neck of the cork. As usual, we allowed this bottle to slo-ox for about 10 minutes which allowed the wine to "calm down" thus increasing the perception of red fruits and allowing the mousse to become creamier. The wine continued to improve and became one of the better bottles of this wine that we've enjoyed. The red fruits that we encountered on both the nose and palate -- a red berry mélange of strawberry, cherry and raspberry -- were lively. There was a touch of citrus, the mousse was creamy and smooth, and the acidity was lively and balancing. These are the elements of this wine that draw us in and make drinking it so enjoyable. We continue to consider this our go-to rosé champagne but remain concerned about the wide bottle variation that we, and others, seem to have been experiencing.

Disgorged Q1, 2022. Gorgeous wild salmon color in the glass. Saline, cherry and strawberry notes with light acidity. Paired well with a mountain of king crab legs for Valentine’s Day.

(Disgorged in summer of 1986, base year 1981, 100% Pinot Noir) Gently opening the bottle waiting for that slightest sound of a psscht revealing there”s still pressure left and raising the expectations for this almost 40 years old bottle. Deep blood orange colour with a gentle stream of bubbles rising in the glass showing baked bread and blood oranges at first. And with time in the glass it shows a lovely creamy note and then some burnt sugar in a delicious way. Smoothing orange citrus acidity combined with minerals and a creamy mid before the orange juicy finish takes over. (Still showing a delicious effervescence and in a very refreshing style with almost 40 years extra cellaring)

NYE 2023: Beautiful salmon and rose gold color. Nose shows off buttered toast and popcorn at first; saline and sea spray later. On the palate sea shell, orange rind. It is creamy on the mid-palate before developing into a very dry and crisp finish. Very nice.

Pale salmon color. Drank a glass over an hour. Wonderful nose, earthy, dried spice and flowers, dried strawberries, tangerines, peach and bold ocean breezes. The palate springs forward with bright red berries, tangerine, peach, so delicate yet defined and precise. Love the lacy minerality. 93+pts.

Delicious pairing with our traditional Christmas Eve dinner: fresh Florida stone crabs with Joe's Stone Crab sauce recipe. Simple but decadent. The 100% pinot-noir LP rose undegoes a 48-to-72-hour maceration, giving it its rich black cherry color . Fresh and balanced; the acidity help cut through the tangy sauce

Fresh and frosty on the nose with watermelon and cherry aromas, upfront with a rich filling and lively expression of strawberry shortcake, orange sherbert, cherry and mineral on the palate, has a clean structure, finishes gracefully, can cellar well, this was a "cage" bottling

Pop and pour last night. Didn't get the code off the bottle, but this was a recent purchase and was the best showing for this wine I've had. Red fruit notes dominate with a fine bead and mildly aggressive mousse.

Very nice indeed, especially after the bottles had been open for 30 mins or so. Long finish and complex and for a NV. Outclassed Bollinger Rose NV had the day before.

The most reductive in the market I am being told. They really don't use that much Pinot Meunier because they say its no aging well. It macerated. They cut the heads and tails off. So I guess its a Coeur de Cuvee, base vintage 2014 and lees aged for six years. Soft strawberry fruit to the nose, but also crisp and creamy on the mid palate.
My second note on this champagne. it's a no-brainer, well made, versatile on many kinds of food, from grilled shrimps/scampi to roasted chicken or a camembert cheese! Among the NV rosé (and excluding the "rosé de saignée"), it's a good pick, alongside the Billecart-Salmon

Prior bottle was only two months ago, so my notes were very similar, but event called for it, so I was happy to open it. Lots of red cherry notes along with strawberry and some mineral/floral qualities on the nose. Medium bodied with red cherry and lighter strawberry upfront, moving to a red raspberry through the middle along with deeper red cherry. Backside shows tart red cherry and good acidity. This wine continues to drink so well with expressive fruit, good structure and an overall balance. I will certainly be adding more of these to the cellar soon.

France Trip: Paris, Champagne, Burgundy; 9/3/2023-9/17/2023 (Paris, Champagne, Burgundy): Medium sockeye salmon color. Drank a glass over 2 hours at Champagne Laurent-Perrier. Cold maceration, crushed by weight, not pressed, 24 to 36 hours and up to 72 hours. Color wil vary by vintage, but the goal is the same aromatic expression consistently. What a joy to sit and drink this while chatting with our hostess Angela about how this wonderful Rose is made every year. Simply a joy, and at a consistent level that few Rose Champagnes achieve and certainly even more rare in NV. blissful wild strawberries, raspberry, cinnamon spice, a touch of vanilla and cream, so very elegant and tingly long.
100% pinot noir sourced from 10 different crus. The wine is aged a minimum of 5 years before release but since no disgorgement date is given, the age of individual bottles is not known.
Strawberry, minerality, grapefruit zest, brioche. Enjoyed with spanish garlic shrimp.
IPNC Weekend 2023; 7/26/2023-7/31/2023: Light salmon color. Drank a glass plus over an hour at the Champagne Brunchat IPNC. Well, it is L-P afterall, what more do I need to say. It is the standard bearer. Pretty, precise, and elegant with its delightful red berry signature. 93+pts.

Prior bottle was 13 months ago and while its overall profile was very similar, the bottle from today was clearly more youthful. Really pretty mix of red cherry, strawberry and floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with red cherry both upfront and through the middle. Starts off with brighter, more tart red cherry, but opens up and rounds out through the middle, adding tart strawberry behind. The combination of brighter, more tart notes, with the more open rounded notes worked very well. Backside showed excellent acidity along with tart red cherry and mineral qualities. This bottle felt like it was just getting started and with time, could continue to integrate as well as open up with more time. May open my next bottle as soon as September 2023.

Red fruit (strawberry, cherry, cranberry), lemon and some minerality. This bottle disgorged late 2019 so still going strong at 3.5 years bottle age. It’s darkened slightly in colour and the acidity has rounded out.

Pleasant NV Laurent-Perrier Champagne Cuvée Rose Brut. Medium light pink in the glass with aromas of raspberries and lemon coming through the effervescence. On the palate, abundant bubbles and smooth flavor sensations reflecting the wine’s aromas. The finish a bit disappointing…a noticeable sour grapefruit flavor on the mid to back of palate…this is a NV Champagne purchased 3 years ago and maybe nearing “driinkability” range.

Alas the ‘real world’ does not want to drink champagne all the time with everything but at least tonight we started with a sipper. Nothing really different to my previous notes but I just quite enjoyed it as it was maybe my first bottle of champagne since I got back from my trip. Lots of fruit. Drank well. Went fast as champagne so often does. Easy to like even if I do think value isn’t totally there.

Med salmon. Faint citrus and cut grass on the nose. In the mouth, a punch of zesty citrus, lime and lime pith, with raspberry. Beautiful mouthfeel as bright acidity and creamy playful bubbles give way to a short tannic squeeze, followed by a slick, salty finish. Balance and expression is wonderful, this is a delight to drink.

Probably the BEST NV Rose Champagne alongside Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose. Cuvee Rose Brut is aged on Lees for 5 years and uses 100% Pinot Noir grapes from 10 different Crus. and the grapes are macerated by a technique only known by the Laurent-Perrier house themselves. The mousse is great, the color is a light pink, the fruit taste is every succulent red fruit you can think of, especially Cherries, and Raspberries. The Champagne is amazing approachable and well rounded. It is dry but it finishes velvety and rich with fruit. Aftertaste is crisp, with a bright orange flavor and a bit of chalk. You can taste almost any red fruit you can imagine. Drink slowly and let it decant.

beautiful looking bottle, fun experience sharing with other members the experience of a highly rated universally liked bubbly. but in fact, although we quite liked it, and drank it all with no difficulty, for the price, locally $100, and $85 on wine searcher, i would say it is quite overpriced. for my taste this was slightly less enjoyable than a $65 veuve cliquot nv rose. over the last few days we have tried 4 nv rose's: mailly $65, montaudon $43, laurent perriier $100, and veuve cliquot $65. Of these, we will probably not try the first two again, and the last two were very similar with the veuve preferable in taste and enjoyment. For the price difference that makes the choice easy. if money is not a consideration, this is quite nice and would probably be better with more age. the disgorgement seems to have been in 3rd quarter of 2018. (C81 FO)
of course part of the fun of the exercise was having something different every day and the chance to compare and discuss. so that is worth something. cheers!

Christmas Dinner with Pat & Alfio (At their apartment): One of the best bottles of this wine that we have enjoyed. Popped and allowed to slo-ox for 10 minutes. Lots of lively red fruits on both the nose and the palate -- a red berry mélange of strawberry, cherry and raspberry. There was a touch of citrus, the mousse was creamy and smooth, the acidity was lively and balancing and there was an overall fruity freshness in every sip. These are the elements of this wine that draw us in and make drinking it so enjoyable. Made from 100% Pinot Noir via the Saignee method. A check of the cork showed that this bottle had been disgorged in the first quarter of 2021, making it the "freshest" bottle that we have experienced. I am happy that there is a movement to encourage Champagne producers to put the disgorgement date on the back label in the hopes of avoiding less than enjoyable drinking experiences.

Gorgeous light medium strawberry color. Drank a couple glasses on consecutive nights. I can just get wrapped up this for an evening, riffing off just the amazing freshness on the nose. Filled with fresh air, beautiful oyster shell aromas, wow, yeast, almond, chamomile, subtle florals and strawberry pastries on the pristine nose. The palate is the picture of elegance, so delicately framed in yet a deep and compelling tone. Cherry and strawberries, mid-weight but feather light, fine grained chalk minerality, pastry and chiffon, light spices, brine, with such purity and length. This is stellar juice, hands down the best NV Rose Champagne out there, and it stands up to many of the best vintage rose's out there. Listen, if you don't get excited about this Rose Champagne, I just don't know.

Champagne Day 2022! A good reason for a bottle of our favorite rosé Champagne. Based on the "A61" cork marking we know that this bottle was disgorged in the first quarter of 2016 -- I wish that all champagne producers put this info on the back label. As usual, we allowed this bottle to slo-ox for about 10 minutes which allowed the wine to "calm down" thus increasing the perception of red fruits and allowing the mousse to become creamier. The wine continued to improve a bit, but this bottle never reached the heights of some previous bottles as it just seemed to lack a bit of freshness. We continue to consider this our go-to rosé champagne but remain concerned about the wide bottle variation that we, and others, seem to have been experiencing.

100% Pinot Noir Rose. Everyone does assemblage but they are the only ones doing maceration, at least in their size. They primarily they do it for aromatics. 6 years on the lees all Grand Cru vineyards. Little bit stinky and earthy. Needs to meellow down.

was purchased in 2019, meaning that the pinot noirs have been harvested around 2012/2014 : ten years after it provides a nose of faded roses and candy. Coppery hue, nice to look at. Fine ans abundant bubbles are providing the freshness and the final taste of raspberries

Ripe on the nose, almost tropical - pineapple, blood orange, lemon sherbert. Almost Moscato like. Quite different on the palate - green fruits, some strawberry, and a load of autolysis notes. All is in order, plenty of crisp acidity, medium finish, but not much complexity.
Open THAT Bottle - at Joe's (Joe's House): Nice Rose Champagne....red fruit, yeast and some seashell...nice balance between acid and fruit. A very serviceable Champagne, and nice Rose! 90-91 points with no problem! Had this with a caprese salad...went OK....then with a watermelon salad (watermelon, onion and a blue cheese or Gorgonzola), and it went much better with that!

Picked this Rose' bottle up at Telluride bottles works to wash down Siam. Rose' Champagne and Thai food just go together like peanut butter and jelly. Crisp without the sweetness I find in other rose' Champagnes. Strawberry, raspberry with lime with some minerality. Paired well with the spicy red curry.
This bottle was a better showing than the first drank about a year ago. Slight toast, good mousse, nice balance, light red fruit on the finish. I'm waiting for a 93 point experience like some of my friends have commented on, maybe its hit or miss with different bottlings.

Prior bottle was only 4 months ago, so my notes were virtually identical. Red cherry and brighter strawberry along with spice and floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied rounded red cherry upfront, along with brighter red cherry. Mid-body adds a lighter, background note of strawberry and the wine finishes with good acidity and nicely tart red cherry and lingering mineral qualities. The balance that I've so enjoyed with prior bottles continues to be a strength and I'll plan to purchase a few more bottles as soon as possible.

Very similar impression to my last note. This is a solid rose champagne. Fits what you think it should. Similar quality available at a better price point in grower champagne but it's something that you can always rely on. Does not jump out as great though. For an end of evening sipper it works just fine.

Dinner in the Medoc Room (Meritage, St. Paul): Sockeye Salmon color. Drank 1 glass over 45 minutes. Classy and elegant as usual. An alluring nose of blissfully ripe wild strawberries, pastry cream, raspberry coulis, roses, sea spray and blood orange. The palate is again delicate, blissfully delicious, tingly acid and pristine stony minerality, strawberry parfait, and a fine creamy mousse with hints of brioche and toast. A great pairing with both the Ham & Asparagus Terrine with Crispy Soft Egg and Bearnaise, as well as the Salmon and Lobster Ballotine. 93+pts.

(Disgorged in fall of 2008, base year 2003, 100% Pinot Noir, dosage 9 gr/L) Lovely orange red colour with a stream of fine bubbles. Maturing nose showing blood orange citrus notes, l minerals, baked bread and a touch of vanilla oakiness in a very pleasant way. Smoothing acidity with a pleasant orange citrus zest bitterness on the fruitful finish also showing a hint of vanilla. As always opening up in such a delicious way with a decade or more of post-disgorgement cellaring.. (Best with 5-15 years extra cellaring)

Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow"; Pinot Noir worldwide: Yeasty bouquet with some light red fruits impressions. On the palate a firm mousse with light red fruits, some bitterness and citrus impressions. Ok bubble, but personally I am not impressed.
Won't score this one. This btl was, simply put, really, terribly poor. Only acidity, and then some. No red berries and no stuffing. A far cry from what they served on onboard Qatar.

Auction purchase at a relative "bargain price point". Apparently degorged in 2011.
Better than the previous btl. Same degorgement year, same wanting bubbles and copper colour.
However, the piercing red berries are almost here and there is a satisfying creamy richness to the palate that unfortunately receedes only too quickly. Fleeting glimpse…
This wine was much better onboard the plane than in my living room, guessing that it has to do with the fact that what I drank in flight were bottles with more, younger and stiffer bubbles.

The color was like a deep salmon, quite a bit orange. The first thing that hit my nose was notes of strawberries and bright red cherries. On the palate, it had a lovely creamy mouthfeel and had identical notes to the aroma but with a hint of grapefruit toward the end. We were drinking it along side tiramisu and it was lovely for not being a sweet Champagne at all. We also tried a couple of Maraschino cherries along side the wine and it brought out this nice yeasty-bready flavor.

Prior bottle was a bit under two months ago, but I keep finding great occasions to open these bottles.... Nose was identical with a mixture of red cherry, floral and lighter, brighter strawberry notes. Medium bodied with the same combination of rounded red cherry and brighter, lively strawberry both upfront and through the middle. The mid-body continues to show good depth as well as balance from the tart qualities on the backside. Tart red cherry, acidity and minerals on the finish. This is a really harmonious wine, showing the fruit well but with the structural qualities for it to show as balanced and in a fashion that it should be able to maintain for a few more years. Considering how quickly I'm going through these and how popular it has been every time I open a bottle, I will clearly need more.

Another bottle that had been disgorged in the first quarter of 2016 - based on the "A61" cork marking. We allowed this bottle to slo-ox for about 10 minutes, but the red fruits were a bit muted, and the mousse was a bit crunchy (rather than creamy). There was some improvement in the wine as we celebrated the end of 2021 (more than the beginning of 2022), but this bottle never reached the heights of some previous bottles. We continue to consider this as our go-to rosé champagne but are getting concerned about the wide bottle variation that we, and others, seem to have been experiencing.

NYE 2021 (our place): Brought by BC. Mid depth of colour - salmon/strawberry pink with a copper tinge. The nose is dominated by red fruits - strawberries, raspberries and cherries. Bright and fresh. Palate: mid weight. Nice acidity for a PN based champagne. Good creamy mouthfeel. Well proportioned and a refined mousse. A reliable, quality and good value rosé champagne.

Auction purchase at a relative "bargain price point". Apparently degorged in 2011.
This was a rather underwhelming experience.: Copper red, hardly any bubbles. Wife complains that it's "old feeling and also Champo feelings" in every bad sense of the concept.
The happy, playful red berries from my previously delayed flight just were not here.
For my bargain price.: I could have gotten three better bottlings of Cava… I will simply stop buying Champoo, as I obviously don't enjoy it particularly much. Already looking forward to my next good btl of Cava.

Prior bottle was only a month ago so my notes were essentially identical. Red cherry, strawberry and floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with red cherry and strawberry again the dominant notes. The red cherry shows roundness and depth while the strawberry contributes slightly contrasting, higher, brighter notes. Mid-body continues to show both good depth and good fruit expression. Tart red fruits and acidity provide the structure on the back as well as good length through the finish. Quite impressed with this wine all-around and will probably pick up some more.

Copper River Salmon color. Drank 2 glasses over 3.5 hours. Tonight's bottle was particularly nice showing a lovely nose with ocean sea spray, strawberry confections, yeast, fresh, almonds and stone. The palate is so lacy and lively, with such pretty red berries, cherry, almond whipped cream, wet stone minerality, pomegranate, and delicate toast, long and lifted. One of the best L-P's I've had. Damn.
Pure strawberry, raspberry, and warm brioche. Creamy mouthfeel was a great balance to the fruity tartness and resulted in a long finish. Not the cheapest of the entry level Champagnes (such as Cliquot) but is one of the best crafted.

Lots of very pretty strawberry notes on the nose along with red cherry, rose and a light toast note as it warms slightly. Medium bodied (12% ABV) with a well balanced mix of deeper red cherry and prominent strawberry both upfront and through the middle. The mid-body shows impressive roundness and density that really allows the fruit to shine. Nice tart notes and acidity provide structure on the backside and through the finish. Balance between fruit and tart notes and overall integration where the highpoints here. This wine is in a great spot right now and should drink well over the next few years. I'll certainly need to add some to my cellar for current drinking.

Medium pink color. Not overly expressive on the nose but shows a bit of strawberry and citrus with a slight hint of yeast and toast. Similar flavors on the palate but more refined than exuberant in terms of fruit. Shows a bit more barrel than fruit for me. Good acidity with a clean finish. Very nice rose champagne but for the price, there are a few others I would prefer to drink.

No indication of vintage blend but a recent release
bright salmon color, peach and berry on the nose, on the palate refined berry notes, good firm structure, good dryish finish with the fine berry notes on the midpalate persisting through to the end, as always one of the most reliably attractive NV rose champagnes available.

Opened three hours ahead. Crispy shortbread, red berry sorbet, crisp red apple, and light minerality on the nose. Juicy strawberry and raspberry on the palette, amazingly pure. Then the sweet red apple and a little yeast. Lovely deep colour, the colour of wild keta salmon, rather than farmed salmon. The palette is thirst quenching. It’s a little richer for the bottle age, but the biggest difference to a current release is in the nose and the colour.

Disgorged in the second quarter of 2018. 100% Pinot Noir from 10 crus located mainly in the north and south of Montagne de Reims including Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois and Tours‐sur‐Marne.
Three hour slow oxidation. Pours a pale blood orange fading to a deep salmon pink. High toned with slightly candied red fruits, red apple skin, wild strawberry, pomegranate, watermelon, polished steel, and white bread dough. Incredibly light and spring water fresh with a sweet burst of white peach and nectarine. Falls a little short in terms of depth and complexity required to take take his to the next level.

Very nice on the nose showing seashell, strawberries, vanilla fudge and a slight touch of burnt sugar in a delicious way. Smoothing acidity on the mature palate showing strawberry jam, and some dark chocolate notes before the lengthy finish showing some herbs and a smooth lime citrus note. Drinking extremely well right now and in a very pleasant spot with a smoothness and roundness that is just delicious. (Perfect with 23 years of extra cellar time)

From a bottle that had been open a day, so without commenting on the mousse, this was a really nice MV rosé. Fresh strawberry, light/elegant and with good supporting acidity, soft on the finish. Perhaps not as stately as Billecart Salmon (the measuring stick in this category IMO) but close

I found this more enjoyable than previous bottles. Unsure of disgorgement date. As before, loads of yeast and strawberry notes with the fruit quite ripe.
Öppnade flaskan lite för kall men ändå tydlig mineralighet i doft, kände även lite krusbärsbuske och kanske lite lite rökighet. Lite tillknäppt i smaken vid 4 grader, öppnade sig rejält när temperaturen steg och en mycket god rosé.

One of my favourite rosé sparkling. Bursting with red berries and a tad sweetness but balanced out with the right amount of acidity. Also comes with a great price for the quality. 93 P

The Columbia Group - Back Together Again (Our Place): Wow. The conversation was lively (after an almost 2 1/2 year absence) and the Champagne was needed to counteract the dry throats that resulted. So, a second bottle of this wine was put into service. It had been sitting in the fridge "just in case", but was not given any time to slo-ox before being served. So, as good as it was, it was just a bit less enjoyable than the first bottle, as the fruits were a bit muted, and the mousse was a bit more aggressive -- it did improve as it sat in our glasses. Checking the cork the next morning showed that this bottle had also been disgorged in the first quarter of 2016.

The Columbia Group - Back Together Again (Our Place): This bottle was uncorked when the last couple arrived and allowed to sit for ~15 minutes while the Billecart-Salmon Rose was being enjoyed over several toasts. This slo-ox allowed this wine to open and integrate, resulting in the most enjoyable bottle of this Champagne that we have experienced (well, maybe it was also due, in part, to the occasion and the company...). The red fruits that we encountered on both the nose and palate -- a red berry mélange of strawberry, cherry and raspberry -- were lively, and presented a distinct difference vs. the Billecart-Salmon Rose that preceded. There was a touch of citrus, the mousse was creamy and smooth, and the acidity was lively and balancing. These are the elements of this wine that draw us in, and make drinking it so enjoyable. I put the cork aside and checked it out the next morning, discovering that this bottle had been disgorged in the first quarter of 2016, making it one of the "freshest" bottles that we have experienced. Once again, I, for one, am happy that there is a movement to encourage Champagne producers to put the disgorgement date on the back label in the hopes of avoiding less than enjoyable drinking experiences.
Please note: I believe that Champagnes can benefit from a short slo-ox, just like virtually every other wine. Don't worry about losing bubbles -- there are 49 million of them in a standard (750 ml) bottle (according to Bill Lembeck, whose opinions, and calculations, I regard very highly).

Pale Atlantic Salmon color. Drank a couple glasses over an hour plus. So it is certaqinly striking going from the Piper-H Sauvage Rose to the L-P. Simple and klunky, transitioning to pretty much the ultimate in N/V elegance. There you go, elegant, fine bubbles and mousse, sea brreezes, strawberry chiffon, tarragon, floral. The palate is finessed, expansive, strawberry chantilly cream, raspberry, tangy, hints of white pepper, delicate minerality, long and refreshing. 93+pts.
Pinkish orange colored. Tiny, sparse bubbles. Red berries, dusty, some stone fruit Lots of mousse, tastes like the nose. Round, fuller bodied. Off dry. A nice bubble for the price. Perfect for a pop and pour patio session in the sun.
Britt approved!

A lovely little sparkling treat. Worked quite well with cheese, crackers and bread before dinner. I don't think I will remember this bottle. On the other hand, it was just delightfully bubbly enough for the beginning of Spring on the front patio. Yummy stuff. Cheers!!

Enjoying these very much. I find them stylistically different from what they were producing a few years ago. Less pink and more salmon color. Fruit is less berry and more slate. I like the direction.

Clear bright rose pink color with reflection of salmon. Persistent fine bead. Lovely notes of fresh red berries, limestone, brioche, hazelnut. Pleasantly tart, precise and focused. Dangerously delicious, the bottle was emptied in a flash.

(Disgorged in fall of 2000, base year 1995, 100% Pinot Noir, saignee maceration between 48-72 hours) Lovely copper red colour with a stream of very fine bubbles. Maturing nose showing mint chocolate, oranges, a touch of herbs and flowers. Intense and mature palate showing blood orange, minerals and with an acidity on the lengthy finish and where the lovely mint chocolate notes comes back again. This was showing the perfect mixture of maturity and freshness at the same time. (Probably best with 5-20 years of extra cellaring)

Very dry starting out in the glass. Medium sized bubbles that dissipate pretty quickly. It gets better and more complex as the bubbles go away and it warms a bit. Very beautiful glass of champagne with a nice rosy color.

Our "go-to" Rose Champagne. We've had this champagne many times, but with widely varying results. Our CT scores range from 87 to 92 and, I believe, have some relationship to the disgorgement date, i.e., the freshness of the wine. After opening this bottle we allowed it to slo-ox for about 15 minutes which, as in the past, allowed the wine to open. I put the cork aside without checking the disgorgement date. The red fruits that we encountered on both the nose and palate were quite muted, and did not improve with additional air time. This affected our enjoyment of the wine as these elements are what draw us in. The mousse was creamy but lively, and the acidity was solid. After a while I checked out the cork and discovered that this bottle had been disgorged in the second quarter of 2013, potentially reinforcing our "freshness theory". I, for one, am happy that there is a movement to encourage Champagne producers to put the disgorgement date on the back label in the hopes of avoiding less than enjoyable drinking experiences.

(Disgorged in fall of 2015, base year 2009, 100% Pinot Noir) Lovely red colour with an endless stream of fine bubbles, this is still feeling very youthful with lots of red berries, fresh dough and minerals in a very pleasant way. Should reward further cellaring to get some more intensity on the finish. (Probably best with 5-20 years extra cellaring)
I love the red fruit flavors, acidity and touch of sweetness that make this wine so delicious to drink. My favorite rosé champagne, especially for the price.

I was quite keen to try this wine. I am loathe to be too critical of a wine that so many drinkers obviously enjoy so much and it is possible I picked up a bottle that wasn't in its prime (although there were no obvious issues, such as cork taint). I found this wine to be quite ordinary fare. Bronze colour, some brioche and strawberry, slightly short finish, a not especially fine bead and it lacked vivacity. Also not noticeably present was the creamy mouthful of which some speak. As I say, with a wine produced in this volume, I may just have picked up a tired bottle, or one from a less good batch. However, I won't be going back. There is more interesting and enjoyable drinking in this style. I would drink Billecart-Salmon, Bollinger, or some Oz or NZ rose styles ahead of this.

I was happy to buy a few bottles for $52 on a recent sale, and looked forward to tasting a bottle. Salmon color darkened with notes of raspberry. The palate is soft, round, very pretty, with berry notes and a bit of cream. However, I like Champagnes with more cut. Pretty, but didn't really move me beyond that.
Elegant, with colour changing naturally from a pretty raspberry hue to salmon pink. A precise nose of extraordinary freshness and a wide range of red fruits: raspberry, redcurrant, strawberry and black cherry. A fresh and sharp attack for this supple and rounded wine. On the palate, it offers the sensation of plunging into a basket of freshly picked red berries. Best served between 8°C and 10°C.

Medium Sockeye Salmon red color. Split bottle over 3 hours. Probably the gold standard in NV Rose Champagne. Pretty much spot on to my note from 5-15-20. These strike a balance between power and elegance with the finesse tipping the scale. Creamy on the palate, lovely fruits, mixed red berries, cherry and citrus abound, yeasty, refined chalk, floral spice notes, and a hint of almonds. Love it.

Retail $85. 100% Pinot Noir. Perhaps the standard-bearer when it comes to rosé champagne, I tasted this as part of a blind tasting of widely-available pink bubbles for Champagne Day, 2020. Rich pink-reddish color, almost a light red. A bit yeasty and flinty on the palate but surprisingly low on fruit on both the nose and palate. A lively sparkle and intense tartness and, again, heavy on minerality and yeast. I was surprised upon the reveal as I usually gravitate to those champagnes that are heavy on the Pinot Noir. Still, very good. thedrunkencyclist.com

Champagne Day 2020. Tasted upon opening, then given a 15 minute slo-ox which definitely allowed the wine to open. The disgorgement date was the 1st quarter of 2015. This is our favorite Rose Champagne, in part because it is 100% pinot noir, produced via Saignee. Faint strawberry aromas, followed by a red berry melange of strawberry with touches of cherry and raspberry on the palate, with a creamy but lively mousse, and solid acidity.
Deep pinkish copper and creamy bubbles that are never agressive. Its nice aromas of vanilla, red fruits, rose petals and even coffee beans were pleasant with our dinner. This champagne does the job, but I find it just a bit overpriced for what it really is.
Best rose champ that I have had in a while. Aged about a year in cellar after purchase. Great strawberry notes that I am partial to. Drank outside at a nice dinner in the heat. Only gripe was that it lost its bubbles fairly quickly. That could have been due to the heat though

(Disgorged in spring of 2017, base year 2012, 100% Pinot Noir, dosage 9 gr/l) Youthful nose showing wild strawberries and cream in a very delicious and seductive way. The wild strawberries come back together with red apples on the lovely maturing palate with a nice grapefruit zest on the lengthy finish. This is good, but will become even better if given some more time in the cellar.. (Best with 4-12 years extra cellaring)

Fait de de pinot noir 100%, d’une dizaine des meilleurs crus. Lui aussi Pour aller avec les Sushis de Sakura et les tartares de Kuto. Bel accord mais on a bu la dernière moitié seule comme il se doit. C’est tout en finesse et en dentelle, beaucoup plus que les 2 autres bus en même temps! Des bulles de méditation, c’est complexe et superbement équilibré. Grand vin, une grande bouteille pour le groupe!

Salmon pink in the glass and a nose of fresh raspberry and rose petal. Elegant palate of peaches and cream. This was light and nicely balanced. Citrus and brioche finish. This bottle had been in my cellar for a couple of years which may have helped as this was excellent.

Light-medium salmon color. Split bottle over 3.5hrs. This was lovely tonight as expected. The nose is so fresh; there's a burst of sea breezes up front, wild red berries, floral, chalk and yeast. The palate has suave and creamy presence, elegant, refined red fruits, wild strawberries, delicate raspberry, chalk, and yeast. This is always a treat and it paired great wity our duck two ways from Alma tonight.
This is just a personal fav of mine. No formal notes, sorry. Great bd champagne for Brenda tonight. The best rose champagne for any occasion. Great touch of pink to go with the bubbles......enjoyed by all.

(Disgorged in spring of 2000, base year 1995) Blood orange colour with an endless stream of very fine bubbles. Maturing nose showing burnt sugar, cream and a touch of caramelised vanilla on the lovely nose. Smooth acidity with red berries on the palate combined with a creamy mid showing oranges and a nice and lengthy finish filled with orange zest bitterness in a delicious way. Perfect together with grilled fillet of lamb and potatoes tonight!

Gave this bottle a 10 minute slo-ox after opening which, I believe, allowed the wine to open. The disgorgement date was the 1st quarter of 2015, based on the cork markings. Faint strawberry aromas, followed by more obvious strawberry with touches of cherry and raspberry on the palate, a creamy but lively mousse, and solid acidity. We just needed a bottle of our favorite bubbly rose as our SIP stretches on.

Much darker pink in color than I remember it. It is almost more of a red rose than a blush rose. Nevertheless, as an entry level NV Rose, it is delicious and always a great way to start the evening. However, I prefer Billecart NV Rose a touch more.

A classic "entry" level rose', very well made and pleasant. This said, definitely inferior to the stallwarth entry level Billecart-Salmon rose'. Laurent-Perrier is easier, "strawberrier" and sweeter. Billecart is so much more complex, above all in its mineral component, more focused and fresh and less sweet.

Lunch with Davyd at Asia Grand. Tasted blind. Drank in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is clear, medium intensity, reddish pink colour. Thin legs. Fine bubbles. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of watermelon, light red flowers, saline minerals, chalky minerality, strawberries. Youthful. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of chalky minerality, watermelon juice, strawberries, raspberries. Fairly long finish. Good quality. Easy classic Rose Champagne. Drink fresh.

Fits the bill nicely for a rosé champagne that pairs well with food. I think the color caught me off guard...deep ruby colored in the glass. Aromatically it shows lots of strawberries, rhubarb, limestone and rich strawberry spread. Balanced and “down the middle” on the palate...not super light and refreshing (like Billecart) but obviously not super rich and oxidative (like Krug). Strawberry cream, gummy fruits and chalk round out the finish. Non offensive and fairly classic. At the price point, Charles Heidsieck Rosé takes the cake for me.
(Disgorged in fall of 2007, 100% Pinot Noir, base year 2002, dosage 9 gr/l) Lovely salmon pink colour with an endless stream of very fine bubbles in the glass. Maturing nose showing wild strawberries, gravel sand and a touch of vanilla oak. Smoothing acidity on the palate with a nice raspberry fruity freshness before the lengthy finish showing a sweetness of wild strawberries in a very delicious way. I’m always surprised to how well the Cuvée Rosé develops with an extra decade in the cellar! (Probably best with 5-20 years extra cellaring)

New Year's (Chicago, IL): In a non-pejorative way, this is a rose that seems to hew more closely to a mass-market easy-consumption style. It's a little sweet and just has a very cheerful disposition. It's actually a bit more rich and layered than a pleasant fizzy chugger, and you can find that complexity if you want to spend the time to look for it.

Allowed a 10 minute slo-ox after opening (with no discernable loss of effervescence), and I believe it helped to make this bottle better than the bottle consumed earlier this month. With thanks to Arvidpalmqvist, we now know that the disgorgement date was 3rd quarter of 2017, same as the previous bottle. Faint strawberry aromas, followed by more obvious strawberry on the palate, along with other red fruit, a creamy mousse, and solid acidity that allowed the wine to complement the hors d'oeuvres and the mushroom ravioli in butter sauce.

Quite dark, strawberry juice colour. Very mild nose, just a faint whiff of berry fruit. Moderate flavour, chewy pinot fruit. Taut, almost austere. I'm not sure about this. It's perhaps too serious for a rosé, lacking generosity. Best with food, I'd imagine. Slips down fine but not worth the RRP, leaves me a bit cold. My 500th champagne tasting note published on CT! [Cork + cage; 12% abv; Oddbins, on offer at £50, widely available from ~£45-60].

It's been a while - too long - since our last bottle. This bottle was not our best, but certainly satisfying. The red fruits were a bit muted, both on the nose and the palate, allowing the yeastiness to show. The mousse was fine and lively, and the acidity was spot on. Still looking for someone who can help us determine the disgorgement date.
Regouté et m'en suis racheté 3 autres...avec les 15 000 points, le 5000 points pour cette bouteille et les 15X les points de bases sur des bulles vu mon anniversaire, j'ai eu proche 100$ de points!!! Super élégant encore une fois, finesse et équilibre ici plus qu'amplitude et matière. Des fraises et un peu de mie de pain avec des agrumes, belle salinité aussi. Les bulles sont infinies et c'est vraiment savoureux, le nec plus ultra. Superbe cette bouteille.

Have had in the cellar for a couple of years and it was the most convenient rose to grab. Bright acidity, married to strawberries and cream and some orange rind. A lovely rose champagne which should age effortlessly for several years, if not longer.

Regouté en succ...il y avait une promotion et aussi avec le points bonis il devient intéressant. Super fin et élégant, m'est apparu plus abouti que l'autre bouteille bue il y a quelques années. C'est sur la fraise et les levures avec une touche florale. Pas le plus long et complexe mais c'est aérien et tout en douceur...plus un vin de méditation pour moi.

100% pinot and 100% delicious! Medium acidity and a flavor profile that has a touch of strawberry. The nose has a beautiful floral note. The bottle was the limited edition tiger cage, which is cute. But, I see no difference between this bottle and others without the cage.

(Disgorged in July 2001, base year 1996, 100% Pinot Noir, dosage 9 gr/l) Lovely copper red colour with an endless stream of very fine bubbles. Maturing nose showing hazelnuts, baked bread and minerals combined with a touch of mandarin zest and dark chocolate in a very pleasant way. Smoother acidity with mandarin citrus notes on the palate at first and opens up with a rounder mid before the nice and structured lengthy finish showing a nice citrus zest bitterness in a very pleasant way. With a decade and a half extra in my cellar this bottle has evolved extremely well and should keep well for many more years to come.. Best with 5-20 years of extra cellaring

Stress Free even Blindly (Alicante - España): With enough pressure but soulless. Stingingly roses-like and minerals of silex on the nose. Without length no complexity at all on the palate. Perhaps the best is that yummy aftertaste of cereals.

I’m a little confused— me and the guys at Sutton Wine Shop can’t find any dates on any Billecart or Laurent brut rosé. Or perhaps Brute Rosé.
So I’m reviewing the NV Laurent Rosé. (Does the cellie translate bar codes into vintages? I was feeling so on top of things earlier, too..)
A light orange pink, quick-vanishing frothy mousse, but a very persistent bead of six or seven streams of tiny bubbles. (A few neon tetras could easily become a school in there.)
I have a some hay flax and strawberry notes, a bit ponderous, but not bad. I think it’s more mineral and a bit of stems than grapefruits but I gotta say ok to Ruby Reds. Tough to shake the idea (and scent) of pink grapefruit based on the color of the beverage alone. (It’s uncannily like the juice left in the bowl after a grapefruit was therein devoured.)
90-91 I think I prefer billecart but this stuff’s similar.
(I been spoiling this bistro. I came in with this swill tonight and they said corkage if they sell it — I said how much for either and turns out they don’t sell it. POURED 1994 Hillside, 2000 Yquem, Multiple Deuce Chambertin, 96 Margaux, etc liberally all around here lately. Ah human nature.)

Opening the 2019 Season by the Sea (El Portal - Alicante): From a bottle opened to me. A shot of all the berries in the world in yogurt, especially currants but with elegance and a defined style. It is not the most aristocratic, of course, but has its audience. Served very cold and leaving it to warm up in the glass it appears a good density crustacean flavors and a powerful, long finish.
De una botella abierta para mí. Un golpe de todas las bayas del mundo en yogurt, especialmente a grosellas pero con elegancia y un estilo definido. No es el más aristocrático, de acuerdo, pero tiene su público. Servido bien frío y dejando que se caliente en la copa aparece una buena densidad sabores a crustáceos y un poderoso, largo final.

Lovely copper red colour with a very pleasant nose reminiscent of a warm summers evening with an incipient maturity showing freshly baked bread, sea shells, hazelnuts and ocean covering the wild strawberries backing it all up. Palate with a soft acidity combined with fresh strawberries to continue the summer feeling that is so much needed in this winter darkness we have here in the north of Europe right now. So lovely in its youth, and knowing how gracefully it evolves with extended cellar time, this is the perfect cuvée for both short and long term drinking. Tonight marching the lobster soup as good as it was an aperitif too! (Best with 0-20 years of extra cellar time)

12 Days of Christmas - 2018; 12/21/2018-1/1/2019 (NYC, Vermont, Lake Placid): From the wine list at Aquagrill. Christmas eve tradition - champagne and oysters at Aquagrill!! This was a nice way to start out, pretty pink color, bouquet of summer berries and on the palate, fine bubbles, strawberries, and lemony acidity. Very enjoyable if not overly contemplative.

Having consumed dozens of bottles of this, surprised I have not yet written a note! Copper colored, pleasant raspberry and strawberry melange of fruit with mineral complexity and a nice citrus rind finish. From a bottle cellared at least a few years these seem to take on more complexity and this one didn't disappoint as it seemed to change a little each time you came back to it.

Raspberry salmon-pink in color. Clean and fresh aromas of strawberries, raspberries, and cherries. 100% Pinot noir. Lush bubbles with cherry and unrip strawberry on the palate. More tannin than acid on the finish. Cellar this one to see development if you can.

Plan was to cellar 4 bottles to see development over 4-6 years, but only 14 months later three of them are already gone. I find them quite delicious, with freshness and vibrancy but also providing a developed, vinous feel. I guess my project is dead so I might as well drink the up the last bottle. 90-91p

IPNC Weekend 2018; 7/26/2018-8/2/2018 (Linfield College, McMinnville, OR): Finished off IPNC at the sparkling brunch with one of the wines we'd looked forward to all weekend. Thanks to super somm "Ric Ecrane" we had our own personal bottle to share over the morning. This is a delightful wine. Everything I want in my rose Champagne is there in perfect balance. Year in and year out what they do is quite impressive. This is delicate and elegant while offering a creamy palate with vibrant and pure strawberry fruit, hints of almond, perfect mineral notes and a great lifted feel on a the long finish. 93+pts.

PnP. One of the best bottles of this wine that we've experienced in a while. A beautiful clear pink color, with very fresh red berry aromas. On the palate the wine presents a dry, creamy mousse, with plenty of fresh, juicy strawberry, and touches of raspberry, cherry, minerality and faint brioche. All in all, a fresh, lively, festive, rose champagne. Still looking for someone who can help us determine the disgorgement date.

Straight forward and predictable rose, light confectionery and lacks a serious side to it. Very well presented bottle so a good choice for a party but that's all. 87-88

Pale apricot in appearance, yeast on the nose, effervescent, intense explosions, somewhat sweet, wet, decent on a tremendously hot summer day. Awakening and enlivening. Paired with grilled shrimps

Dark cherry colour. Evolved aromas of ripe wild strawberries, dough and some l/forest floor. providing. very good depth. Palate was fresher. Tiny bubbles. Good balance but lacking some backbone and tension. A quite serious rose champagne. 90p

(Disgorged summer of 1986 with base year 1981, 100% Pinot Noir) Deep orange colour with a wonderful stream of fine bubbles. Lovely maturing nose with an explosion of strawberries, coffee, fudge and resin from the start. With glass time it opens up with notes of lilac and roses in a very seductive way. Intense on the palate with a nice smooth acidity and fruitfulness with strawberries that are drying up, an excellent mid part holding up before the long lasting finish showing hints of leather and a softened lemon acidity before a peppery note take over on the tip of the tongue... I’m amazed how well preserved this bottle was, being a non-vintage rosé and still showing plenty of fruit and with a smooth structure, the storage must have been exceptionally well . This is one of the best mature rosé champagnes that I’ve had and a wonderful match with a confit de canard with rhubarb chutney matching its peppery notes perfectly. (Best with 5-15 years of extra cellaring)

Earthy/musty on the nose with an all fruit palate. Orange preserves, raspberry jam, and fresh strawberry. An almost bitter grassiness follows on the finish. Extracted yes but some nice acidity keeps more than fresh.

Part of the high tea at Claridges. According to our waiter this is getting more popular in London. Could be. To me it is the same very safe producer. What I expect from a rose champagne. Some strawberries and orange peel. Not overly complex but also not totally simple. Tasty.

Just lovely for the $. Smallish bubbles, getting mineraly strawberries on the nose. Bit of peach? Great entry, pop pop pop, then nice wave of strawberry mousse, lingers well past minute. Like an ice cold strawberry Lemonaid on a hot day.
Beautiful pure red fruits but not fruity, with slight brioche, good balanced concentration with clean finish. VEry classic, drinking very well. W/B&T D&M and Lucie.

I enjoyed this but I really think that I should have paired this with food. Instead of strawberries, pudding at that kind of crap, I think a lot of Rose Champagnes work better with pink game dishes or rack of lamb.
My best Rose Champagne match to date was Bolly 2002 with rack of lamb. A lot of Champagne marketing focuses on more 'feminine' food pairings, but I suspect that LPR could handle meatier options.
Always a crowd pleaser. Deep pink colour. Strawberry and raspberry nose. Lovely flavours of vanilla and red fruits. Great effervescence. So special, this is meant to help celebrate occasions. 90

Celebratory toast to the new year. This bottle was one that we brought back from our Reims visit in the Fall of 2016. It has no importer info on the back label as it is meant only for domestic consumption within France. PnP. The red fruit aromas and flavors were more muted than expected, and there was a touch of yeastiness on the palate. The mousse was fine and lively, and the acidity was spot on. This is one of our favorite champagnes, and our absolute favorite rose. Is it possible that the assemblage for domestic consumption differs from that for export?? Or was this bottle simply showing some age?? I would love to know how to determine the disgorgement dates of these champagnes.

Happy New Year to you. 10/23/2016 Floral nose of strawberry, raspberry, and brewer's yeast, same on the palate, medium/big body, tasty, good acid, paired with Shrimp Sushi, firing on all cylinders but not over the top, and a long, long finish.

Judy Blue's Over the River & Through the Old Wines Event (Judith's House, WI): Vibrant medium sockeye salmon red color. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes plus. This was firing on all cylinders. Great energy, seamless with a lacy, creamy elegance with graceful yet fully defined features. The nose gets you geared up with a burst of red berry fruits and effervescent minerality that dances across the nose hairs. Strawberry chiffon, with a floral freshness and yeastiness. The palate is refined, classy, medium bodied, great finesse and definition, strawberry, strawberry chiffon, creamy texture, roses, crystalline minerality and nice persistence. Drinking great 93 to 93+pts.

This bottle was not aged as long as the last time I had it (bit better then), but this too showed very well. Lovely strawberry, fine mousse, fresh and balanced. LP rose is consistently good, different league to their white NV in my view. And it rewards some ageing.

Unsure when disgorged - acquired dec 2015. Medium mousse, lovely pink verging into salmon. Nice strawberry, rose petal aromatics. Palate is a bit simple and not well delineated, with more strawberry, lemon tart acidity. Ho-hum mid palate and medium finish. Pleasant enough to drink but there are plenty of better values.

(Disgorged in 2011, 100% Pinot noir) Cupper red colour with an endless stream of tiny bubbles and a lovely maturing nose showing a touch of oak and vanilla. Mature palate with red berries and a nice and fresh acidity with a finish showing orange peel bitterness that lasts forever. Very nice and pleasant and the perfect start to a nice and long evening. (Best with 3-9 years extra cellaring)
soft pink tone medium to fine mousse I really enjoyed it. I find Maxima's note a bit puzzling in that this is cheaper than the Fleury and totally fresh the palate was precisely what I hoped with strawberry and citrus zing and some broadening on the finish that is very satisfying. definitely >90

Champagne & Caviar: a lesson in decadence (The Apt): Wine #14: Even in a blind tasting sometimes you can just recognize a bottle. Surprising that it was the first and only rose in the group. Hints of strawberry. There's a bit more depth here or at least I sensed that although the flavors themselves were a bit less complex than some of the others. A fun wine. (5 pennies)

From memory. Definitely a bottle with cellar time. Much more evolved aromas with ripe, wild strawberries, dough/yeast and some light smoke/forest floor, providing fine complexity and very good depth. Considerably fresher palate, with strawberries and ripe raspberries, hints of watermelon, and light spices. Fine balance and backbone. Liked it a lot. 91 - 92p.

PnP. Much better than our last bottle on 12/18/16, but still showing bottle age. The color was a golden/red, and the red fruit aromas were somewhat muted. These red fruits of cherry and raspberry carried over to the palate, with a touch of yeast. The mousse was fine and lively, and the acidity was spot on. One of our favorite champagnes, and our absolute favorite rose (because it is 100% pinot via saignee), but showing some age tonight. Last of three bottles purchased at auction. Would love to know how to determine the disgorgement dates of these champagnes.
The wine was dark salmon in colour, with medium-intense, medium-fine perlage. It offered good, full red fruit, strawberry, ripe apple, toast, brioche, chalk and some smoke on the nose and palate, with creamy mousse, medium to medium-plus acidity and very good length. A good champagne in its own way, rather plump, more like a ripe Pinot Noir rosé saignée. It hence left me longing for a little more freshness. Not my preferred style.

Tonights btl was very good but, not a rock star. Salmon colored, strawberry, chalk, mineral, and brioche. Expected a little more based on previous blts and a more stellar btl Kevin brought to Brad's Champagne & Fried Chicken Smack Down dinner. Seem to remember Kevin's btl having a deeper pink color too? Perhaps I'm mistaken and he brought a different rose?

Bright salmon color. Nose shows chalky, dusty limestone, white flowers and pastry dough on top of some white cherries and wild strawberries. Brisk and bright and full of minerals and white and red flowers, I get lots of white cherries and tart strawberries. Chalky, limestone notes, sea salt and toasted baguette elements. Impressive complexity and depth, but it stays so lively and fresh. All Pinot Noir.

wonderful salmon color in the baloon. At the nose some aromatic notes, palate consistent with balanced minerality and a cascade of strawberries. At 12-13 Celsius pinot noir characters emerge clearly at the palate with typical scents and aftertaste. All in all very nice although a little bit short on expectations. Best paired with a risotto with black truffles and shrimps. PD agrees across the night

The color of this pretty brut rosé exactly matches the label, I’m sure that’s intentional. It’s fine-boned and delicate with convivial seed pearl bubbles and aromas of ripe raspberries, tart red currants, blood orange and rose petal. Lively and fresh on entry, Laurent-Perrier’s pink shows very little yeast, the merest suggestion wet dough, fleeting and submerged by a cut that’s very clean, linear and minerally. Perfect with fish tacos and ceviche from a local Taqueria in Santa Cruz. 12.0% ABV | Sample

8-6-8-9-9 First time using this scoring method, may have to work out some kinks..
this wine is lovely, however, after six months off, it has a bit too much red apple for me, and is very much red fruit almost unilaterally. Lots of ACID...It is almost all this through the really long finish...Through writing this note I have changed the score 3 times. Left half the bottle to move to red. This wine is MUCH better after some time in the glass to warm up a bit.

Dry, effervescent, and long, this shows a salmon orange appearance and brims with peach, lime, and white raspberry aromas over notes of yeast, biscuits, and cream. Complex, structured and layered, and very full in the mouth. Sports a tiny, active bead, creamy mouthfeel, juicy acidity, and cherries on the vigorous finish. Lovely.
Feel very much the same about this wine tonight as I did in December. Here is what I said then and still applies... "Gem like glistening deep reddish pink color with pretty little bubbles. Sappy & rich with cherry, red raspberry, mineral & spice. Exceedingly elegant with a Grand Cru sort of concentration and energy." Same btl as R&Rler.

Dinner at Heirloom (Heirloom, St.Paul, MN): Medium pink/salmon color. Drank 2 glasses over 90 minutes. The nose is focused with cherry, cherry chiffon, yeast and light-medium toast. The palate delves deep with nice structure to the cherry fruits, bread dough, orange, and stony minerality. The tannins are impressive and this lingers nicely with additional spice notes.

Gem like glistening deep reddish pink color with pretty little bubbles. Sappy & rich with cherry, red raspberry, mineral & spice. Exceedingly elegant with a grand cru sort of concentration and energy. This was utterly perfect with Christmas Eve appetizers. 92+ / 93-. Happy to have one more. Paid $63 which is the most I've ever spent on... rose'! 2016 has been a rose' epiphany year for me and this was a great finish! Most have been an easier, no brainer, sub $15 though :) Bring on the rose' Champagnes. Even an old dog can learn some new tricks!

One of our favorite champagnes, and our absolute favorite rose, but not up to snuff tonight. The usual red fruits were underwhelming, and the toasty notes dominated. The mousse was fine and lively, and no obvious flaws. The bottle was purchased at auction, and we suspect it was old. If anyone can interpret the L23 number (just under the back label), and/or the code on the cork, to determine the disgorgement date, we would be grateful.

Smell is closed, but opens after some time in the glas. Fruity, dried fruits, sharp and of alcohol.
Fine mouse, very fresh, mild. Rasins. Mineral and alcohol. Taste of green apples. Nice intence acidity, and a sharp aftertaste at the back of the tounge.
Thin taste...
All in ann an OK champagne, but i was expecting more from this one.
IMO not really worth the money

Odd I will have to disagree with most below. My bottle seemed boring, clunky, big bubbles, little refinement. Flavors are blood orange, roses, citrus, pomegranate. Im surprised this wasn't better. I thought this just wasn't a fine wine, at least not this showing. The paul clouet the other day just blew this out of the water. That was 35 bucks and this was 55. Wine is a strange weird journey.

This had been kept in a not very cold cellar for 2-3 years. Had on a sunny summer day and that was very suitable - beautiful strawberry and raspberry on nose and palate jumping into your face. Graceful, salivating, persistent, dry but not too dry. Probably the best showing of this champagne in my memory - comes to show how much pretty much all champagnes, NVs included, stand to gain from letting them rest in bottle for a couple of years!

El punto de partida de este rosado es una selección de champagnes bruts de la bodega. Con ello se obtiene este vino delicado, fragante, en el que encontramos desde toques de naranja sanguina y frescos y vivaces toques de frutillos del bosque. En boca cuenta con un paso por boca cremoso, bastante buena sensación de acidez, con mucha fruta fresca, largo y seductor.

The Laurent Perrier Rose NV is salmon/orange in colour. I'd agree with other tasting notes that the nose is big and bold with strawberries, ginger, and almost imperceptible amounts of orange. Great acidity. There are red berry fruits on the palate with concomitant citrus fruits in the background.
Laurent Perrier Rose NV is a nice, interesting wine with good complexity but it lacks the sheer elegance of similar priced Rose wines such as Joseph Perrier 2004 Vintage & Billecart-Salmon etc.
There are superior Rose champagnes out there at this price point so whilst I'd happily drink this if offered at a party, I wouldn't necessarily purchase it again unless it was on offer.
Whilst not a Rose, the 2004 Vintage from Laurent Perrier is definitely superior and better value for money.

Toasty nose with strawberry hints. Red, mainly strawberry, fruits. Soft, just a little sweeter than expected. Smooth, elegant, no faults, very long. Lovely wine and a very nice gesture for Mother's Day but seriously pricey. TBH, I'd prefer a very good red (or three very reasonable bottles of red) for this price...... Am I allowed to say that?

Quite a light nose, opens up a little with time to reveal some red fruits. The palate is rounded and full of flavour, packed with red berry fruits. A little citrus zip at the back of the palate but this is full, round and lush.

Consistently is the best N.V Rose Champagne on the market currently. (Under 100$) I had this bottle for 3 years in the cellar, and I noticed a huge difference compared to a fresher bottle. This bottle had softened out a little with a nice delicate bubble. Not as much fruit as a fresher bottle however much more crisp citrus notes came through. More brioche on the nose compared to other bottles I have had. My favourite rose NV champagne so far!

LP, Rhys, Chapoutier, Caymus, Quintessa, Lewis & Kracher (E. 4th street): Salmon/orange in color. The nose is big with very nice strawberries, orange peel, some ginger and rhubarb. Lots of small bubbles. On the palate, there is a lot of red fruit; strawberries, cherries and slight citrus notes. A nice mineral streak. Good acidity. Very round yet enough cut to work alone and with some food. Really tasty. Going back after dinner, it had opened a little more. There is some value here in the Rose world too.

Great burst of nasal sweetness, soft and reasonably flavoured. No length , fizzles out very quickly. £58 ?? Has a huge hole in the middle, probably indicating that LP could not be bothered to finish making it properley and moved onto their other wines which I have always enjoyed. Not this though. 28 of us scored it. 4/10

This had the delicious factor, for sure. Screams France. Big time strawberry jumps from the glass and carries to the mid palate. Not as yeasty as I would have liked and the finish fell off a bit, otherwise this is 93+. Thanks, Todd!

Coppery salmony pink in the glass. Nose and palate of strawberries, peaches, raspberries, and hints yeast. Unfortunately not much minerality to speak of. Bone dry in a good way. Fine perlage and good acidity. Good structure and overall a good and enjoyable champagne, but at the same time so ordinary and uninteresting for the price.

Mid salmon colour with an excellent, fine bubble stream. Good nose, with good pinot noir red fruit character. On the attack, there's a certain richness of flavour, though in the mouth there's not really any sense of sweetness. Good balance, pretty elegant and very drinkable.

Champagne house champagnes do go through periods when they are excellent and periods when they are not so excellent. Veuve Cliquot comes to mind. My last three bottles of this champagne over the last fifteen months or so tell me that this may be the case with Laurent Perrier - sparse, a bit of harshness, and more or less lacking overall. Hopefully, it was just those three bottles, but maybe not.

A saignée rosé Champagne made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes macerated for 48 to 72 hours, depending on the vintage. Aged for a minimum of 5 years in bottles on the lees before disgorging.
Relatively deep rosé color of onion skin hue turning towards subtle bronze. The nose feels quite rich and powerful with an overhanging note of reductive gunpowder smoke, revealing nuanced aromas of ripe red cherries, earthy Pinosity, some cranberries and a hint of toasty autolysis underneath. Overall the nose feels more fruit-forward than autolytic. The wine is dry, acid-driven and medium-bodied on the palate with intense flavors of steely minerality, ripe dark cherries, tart redcurrants, some lemony citrus fruits, a little bit of tart green apples, a hint of spicy Pinosity and a touch of sour cherry bitterness. The mousse feels very aggressive and fizzy, but also impressively lengthy. The high acidity lends good sense of structure for the wine. The finish is lean and racy with very acid-driven flavors of tart citrus fruits, steely minerality, spicy Pinosity, some juicy raspberry and sweeter cherry notes, a little bit of tart redcurrants and a hint of autolytic mocha character.
A wine representing bigger, deeper and more vinous style than your average Champagne rosé. I enjoy this kind of hefty style pretty much, but I really could've used a bit more toasty complexity: now the wine is very fruit-forward and structure-driven, but showing very little depth beyond that crunchy Pinosity. Fortunately the wine is structured and racy with lovely, incisive minerality, which make the wine feel both very balanced and promising in regards to aging it in a cellar. Overall the wine feels still very youthful and I guess it could gain some welcome complexity with additional cellaring - at least it feels like the wine is built for it.

Some wines for WVIZ - Public Television; 7/27/2015-7/28/2015 (WVIZ Studios): Orange pink in color. Lots of small bubbles. The nose is nice with strawberries and some rhubarb. Also a bit of orange peel. Smooth and easy to drink. Complex on the palate. Dry. Nice strawberries and raspberries. Good acidity. Just a lovely wine.
KR's Farewell (Imperial Treasure, Great World City): Consistently decent, this was a nice aperitif to start the evening off with. The nose showed pleasant strawberry, apple and lemon peel aromas seasoned with a little mineral and spice. On the palate, fine mousse and a decent balance formed a nice frame for rather fleshy flavours of strawberries, cherries and more citrusy green apples as the wine moved into a finish of warm spice and mineral. With time, a little floral note came out as well. Decently good.

I bought this bottle off eBay.FR for $48. The label was different than current label & came in a gift tin from the 1970's. Guessing this was ~40 years old, a rare find & risk to open. Shared w 2 other couples, all of us v well educated on wine. This had lovely copper tones and had developed a full body complex flavor. We were all fans and v surprised at how lovely this had aged. I would definitely risk purchasing old wines online, given this was a lovely surprise.

Entirely spectacular. Gorgeous in the glass, with a glowing copper-pink color and vigorous effervescence. The nose yields spring flowers and autumn cakes. The palate is exemplary, blending summer fruit and winter wassail. This is a wine of for all seasons. For Easter dinner, including rack of lamb, asparagus and mashed cauliflower, this was an ideal accompaniment. Though the bottle itself is a memorable masterpiece, the Champagne is the star. I only wish I had bought more when I had the chance.
I haven't always been the biggest fan of rose champagne as they are much more pricy and sometimes have cork issues...
However I was thrilled with this style of rose, which had the wonderful red fruits of a still red wine, with a touch of wood that was not the pleasant part, but the orchard fruit, mineral and fine mousse were wonderful. great finish too!

From a magnum, dégorgement 2010 (January if my interpretation of the Lot number is correct). Received as a gift for our wedding in 2010.
Needs an hour to open. Drinks incredibly well. The pinot fruit shows it's characteristics of age with fraises des bois and forest floor, a slightly musky side. There is a delightful fève tonka nutty, buttery sweetness.
The palate is fresh, full and well balanced by a bright acidity.
Superb.

Annual Tasting Group Holiday Party (La Belle Vie, Mpls): Pale salmon color. Tasting pour. This was very good, nice mix of strawberry and cherry on the nose with pleasant yeast and a spritzy minerality. The palate is delicate with lovely berries and bit of cream character with citrus undertone and a clean fresh minerality and a bit of exotic character to boot. Not a cheap N/V, but of excellent quality and pedigree.

at a wine tasting at Radrizzani's in Milan. Marvellous 100% pinot noir champagne rosè with superfine bubbles and hints of strawberries, orange and crust of bread too. Very elegant minerality and a long finish. One of the best rosè for my tastes

Surprisingly deep and dark color for a rosé bubbly: somewhat bronze-toned dark peach orange color. The nose is rich and quite powerful with a subtly reductive note of gunpowder, revealing notes of cherries, tart red fruits and a hint of red apples underneath. Feels more fruit-forward than toasty. The wine feels quite full-bodied and vinous on the palate with rich flavors of cherries, some tart cranberries, light toasty autolysis, a little bit of strawberry marmalade and a hint of tangy mineral brightness. Overall the wine feels very structured with rich, somewhat aggressively fizzy and persistent mousse and high, racy acidity. The finish is juicy, long and quite spicy with rich flavors of cherries, some earthy Pinosity, a little bit of juicy strawberry-driven sweeter fruit, a hint of ripe green apples and a touch of chalky minerality.
A surprisingly big, serious and vinous rosé Champagne that seems to be more about heft and structure than of those delicate and refreshing qualities so many producers seek in their pink bubblies. I prefer this kind of more substantial style. Impressive and delicious, a notch or two above the regular white NV Cuvée of Laurent-Perrier.

Fabulous! Enjoyed with the Rojek's to celebrate Patti's retirement and birthday. Yeasty nose upon opening, softens by the second glass into floral bouquets. The palate is sensual and sensuous, with bright berries and a hint of biscotti on the finish. Mike declared this the best champagne he's ever had. And the bottle shaped for a king is a fitting memory for Patti, queen of nurses forever!

2014 K&L Champagne Tasting (K&L San Francisco Store): K&L Champagne Tasting-SF. Almost strawberry color in the glass, profuse tiny bubbles. Nose of freshly baked strawberry pie, lots of hints of yeast and minerals, more of the same on the palate, delicious to sip and savor, slightly subdued but elegant and unique, thinking man's Billecart-Salmon Rose, medium body and a terrific finish, bought 2 bottles to cellar.

N.V Laurent Perrier Champagne Cuvée Rosé Brut Drank at 10-12 degrees in Burgundy glasses (100% Grand Cru Pinot Noir - Saignée method)
Soft inviting nose of strawberries & cream, blood orange & fresh roses. Elegant fine beading & complexity in the mouth. Shimmering acidity on the palate, through to a lingering creamy finish. There are no sharp notes, or bite to this wine. It is a gorgeous Rosé Champagne to enjoy as an aperitif or could pair well with canapés garnished w salmon pearl, or perhaps w dessert as the residual sugar in the wine appears low.

Finally I got round to trying this highly-rated pink champagne. Quite dark. Lovely sugared redcurrant aroma. Great taste. A good classic brut backbone with plentiful round red fruit on top - and a little nectarine and plenty of apple. It's certainly good - but decidedly *not* worth the RRP. However, it was on offer and then I got 25% off on top, so it's fine. [Cork + cage; 12% abv; Sainsbury's, on offer at £50-25%=£37.50]

Whately Manor (Malmesbury - 2* Michelin). Long my favourite rosé fizz. Salmon pink. Medium mousse. Assertive but rounded wild strawberry and cherry fruit; fully integrated balancing acidity. No sharp edges here. Perfect apéritif champagne but with the depth for canapés.

Long overdue to review this. Fortunately day was #champagneday :)
This Rosé Brut has a very vibrant pink , salmon orange color. One the nose one gets aromas of red cherry, some hints of strawberry, pomegranate. In the mouth, it shines best on the front palate. with great red fruits, zippy acidity, carrying over to the mid palate, with a nice creaminess that coasts the tongue. The finish is a a bit short, & a tiny bit biting, I believe that may change with some cellar time.
Overall, an excellent bottle.

This rose was a little bit tight after the first several sips and seemed a little bit out of balance. However, with more time in the glass everything eventually started to come together. The Laurant-Perrier has very deep fruit flavors that lean much more in the direction of cherries, rather than strawberries or raspberries. In fact, this probably has more fresh cherry flavors than any other rose champagne that I have tasted. The overall quality of this rose is also very good. However, at the $60 to $70 price point, there are so many other fabulous roses on the market that it makes it very hard for Laurant-Perrier to compete. For example, the similarly priced Pierre Peters Rose Albane blows this out of the water in my view. Nonetheless, everyone's palate is different, and this could have lots of appeal to someone who loves cherry flavors in their rose.

-- tasted a couple pours non-blind over approx. 40 minutes --
Thought this was very good. Very expressive, spice-laden Nose. Strong and interesting-in-a-good-way flavors on the palate. Flavors were heavy. Not incredibly lively, but quite focused considering its substantial heft. Attendees more knowledgeable than I surmised that this bottle probably had at least 5 years of age on it (no disgorgement date was on the bottle anywhere). Low end of excellent.

An 80's bottle. Somewhat oxidated figgy to baked apple fruit on the nose with complementing notes of copper, bread and meat. Medium bodied dry palate with cutting acidity and relaxed moussé. Dried fruit sweetness, copper, quinine bitterness and chalky minerality. Lengthy. Rather aged but still putting up a nice performance.

Surprisingly forward nose and palate of ripe red fruits, strawberries most noticeably, with a nice fine mousse. In all a good-quality effort but I fail to see what makes it ‘great’ in any sense, that is I’m not sure I’d buy it again given the QPR.

What a great surprise. I was expecting a nice wine, but this was truly spectacular. This sat in my cellar for 5+ years, and time has been kind. Very stubborn cork; I'm getting weak in my middle age. Light copper colored. Amazing purity of red fruit, with stunning bouquet of strawberry, cherry, and a little citrus. Similar palate, with the addition of burnt sugar and orange notes. Very crisp and fresh but still creamy, with a lively fine mousse.

Dinner with Monthly Group at the Laws (Gallop Green): This on was of the better bottles of NV Rosé Brut I have had from Laurent-Perrier in recent times. Always decent, but rarely spectacular, at least this bottle showed quite nicely. Strawberries and raspberry scents on the nosed were met with a touch of mineral and some earthy undergrowth notes. Pretty pleasant. Much the same could be said about the palate. Really fresh, with a pretty fine mousse and pretty solid balance, it showed middle-weighted flavours of strawberry and raspberries spiked with a squeeze of citrusy lemon. It had a good finish too, showing decent length with a touch of spice. Nothing overly complex, but this was a very solid, if rather unexciting, Rosé. Not surprisingly, it went beautifully with fresh Korean strawberries as well.

Bottle bought in 2004. Strawberries and redcurrants on the rich nose with slight animality, face powder, slight burnt sugar, orange, florals, bread and liquorice. Dry and medium bodied palate with smooth moussé and rich feel complemented by some nice bitterness. Toffee and fresh herbs towards the refreshing aftertaste. Doesn't really last that long, especially after getting some air. Nice stuff with some obvious age on it. Rich and pretty complex profile.

Drank on NYE so no formal notes. While very nice this wasn't outperforming some of my $15 favorites by any margin that would justify the price differential. Granted I'm still learning "champagne" and sparkling wine altogether but the value hunter me thinks best to look to a different region. That said 184 people at 90.2pts seem to disagree with me...

Dinner with the Monthly Group (Park Palace, Grand Park Hotel): Pretty moribund bottle. Not a bad Champagne, but not great, and quite devoid of character. Slightly muted nose showed some strawberries and mineral. The palate was actually a little imbalanced at first, with a highly acidic sour cherry note - a little tart at the edges and a bit of heat at the finish. With time, the wine did come together somewhat, with the agreesive acidity toning down a little, some attractive lemon flavours opening up the mid-palate, and the finish showing more mineral and a dry backbone. Decent, but very uninspiring. A bit tired actually - storage issues?

Laurent Perrier "2010 Christmas Range" Tasting (Quintessentially Soho, London, UK): Possibly the most famous Champagne from Laurent Perrier, this is one of the last rose wines that macerates the grapes rather than blending both red and white grapes. The blend is 100% Pinot Noir, and aged for 4 years with a much more natural salmon pink colour in comparison to other Champagnes. Unfortunately, this tasted rather light after the LP 2000 vintage, but the aroma of fresh strawberries on the nose is uncanny! Other red fruits such as redcurrants and cherries dominate the palate. It is rounded yet supple on the finish, one of the fruitiest Champagnes I've tasted! ****

Odd Bottle Night (Ming Kee, Macpherson Road): I much preferred the last bottle of this wine I had. Still a decent Rosé Brut, but this did seem a little tired and unconvincing from Laurent-Perrier. Nose was pleasant enough, if a bit on the sweet and fruity side. Quite a bit of funky earth notes. a bit of umami and some toastiness, but all this was riding on little waves of sweet cherry and rose petal scents, along with whiffs of fresh cut flowers. Palate was quite pretty, as the nose suggested, but just a little insubstantial. Nice balance, with a light bright touch, it showed more cherries and strawberries on the attack, before moving into a drier mid-palate. It just lacked a punch beyond that though, finishing rather shortish and truncated with a little burst of mineral. Storage issue? Or was the last bottle I had just punching above its weight-class?

I love champagnes and used to enjoy this one very much. Purchased Nov 2008 and has been in my wine cellar since. Disapointing! Bland, pretty color and nice bubbles but a little acidic in taste with very little flavor. Day two a little more flavor came forth but still very bland and un interesting. Poor QPR with all the fabulous 'grower' champanges now available (drank a Pierre Morlet 1999 a few nights earlier - wow - just lovely.

Berrys Champagne School (BBR): BBR Champagne tasting. €75 per bottle. (I understand that this is regarded as one of the best NV rosés on the market (along with Billecarte-Salmon). Macerated on the lees rather than having red blended in.) A tabby, almost pink-brown, appearance, although it nonetheless looks young and fresh. Very vibrant mousse - smallest bubbles of any Champagne yet seen today, and with extremely pacy ascension in the glass. The nose is still very much Champagne (not red wine or still rosé), but with the pleasant addition of some red fruit notes (raspberry and cranberry), and also vanilla (!). The palate is interesting - at first not hugely different to the white Champagnes, only on the finish does the red fruit re-appear. Very pleasant. Medium-long, fruity finish. Good plus.

Received as a gift. Pretty pricey stuff if you buy on your own, it turns out. Very lovely. Strawberry, watermelon, a bit of yeast, some earth and nuts. Definitely what I'd imagine a Pinot rose would taste like in Champagne form. Bubbles are very fine (they better be at the price this sells for!). Nice light fruit on the palate with mouth-watering acidity. Delicious to the last drop and very sophisticated.

Boating party with the monthly group (One Degree Fifteen, Sentosa): Medium-sized bead, but rather frothy, salmon pink in colour. Nose opened with yeast and bread dominant and just the slightest bit of cherry marking it as a rose rather than a normal Brut. Palate was very dry, with ripe apple and fresh strawberry tones along with a nice seam of mineral especially when the wine moved into the decent finish. I thought it was a bit straightforward at first, although very nicely integrated, but the wine showed promises of underlying complexity as it took on some air. This is one NV that could do with a little bottle age. Good - but nowhere near the phenomenal Billecart-Salmon Rose.

Nose delicate of strawberries initially, mousse strong as one would expect on opening, taste not well integrated with a strong citrus finish. Dissapointing initially.Left for an hour.Mousse then delicate, tiny and attractive. Nose better integrated , taste complex, seductive very well structured. Citrus finish no longer. A wonderful improvement. Reminiscent of an an 86 Dom Ruinart rose recently tasted though not in the same league so far at least. I suspect that this wine will improve dramatically with age even though non vintage.

My first thought was wow, this smells kind of like a Bugey-Cerdon. Though with some swirling i banished the thought. Quite lemony and tart, a little tight. Seems less concentrated than some of the previous wines this evening, but there is a wonderful balance here between sweet and tart flavors. In fact i would almost call this painfully tart. Tasty!

A well-executed wine. It's simultaneously soft and precise, with a fine, persistent bead, a lovely true pink color, and berry flavors throughout. Strawberry on the nose, tart cherry on the midpalate, and a creamy mousse are all followed by a mid-length finish of something like slate. This is basically what I hope for in a rose: it looks pretty, it tastes fruity, and it's refined and feminine. I do agree with those who say that you have a right to expect more profundity for the price; it's certainly not a monument. I'm inclined to say, though, that it's nicely done.

More show than go. Nice mousse, bit pale pink, innocuous nose, not too crowded delicate bubbles. Certainly elegant.

The LP Rose NV does not wow. Bot duty free in Sao Paulo.

Thanksgiving Round I (TAC -- American Room): By the glass pour from a new bottle. Light salmon color with somewhat dissipated mousse. Bead was nice and tight but just seemed to lack vigor. Nose was pure and red fruit-driven, with red raspberry and just a little fresh plum. Background scents included a hint of dark flower and maybe a little earth. On the palate, in good balance with light berry tones and a pleasant touch of structural depth and woodsiness (not woodiness). Quite correct, but lacking any particular excitement. A basic NV made slightly more interesting by the hint of structure and berry from the bit of red grape extraction.

I bought this on sale about 4 years ago for $18 and took it to Otis' house last Friday to drink before the Kathryn Kennedy dinner. It normally sells for about $35-40. This was a very nice Champagne to sip on the croquet course. It is 100% Pinot Noir sourced from 10 different Grand Cru vineyards. Not overly fruity. Some yeasty notes. Seems to have held up very well. 90 points.

Wine-pages.com London Champagne Off-Line (Alba Restaurant, Whitecross Street): This and the Taittinger following were a virtually identical mid salmon colour, the L-P slightly paler. Lovely nose. Attractive on the palate and very light. In comparison with the Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, this is very simple and a bit coarse. Good (though I think it would rate Very Good in less illustrious company)

We ordered a few bottles of this during our vacation. This Rose had a relatively deep red color and quite a bit of red fruit on both the nose and palate. Clean and well-made. Very nice, though I slightly prefered the style of the N/V Billecart-Salmon Rose (see TN) we had at the same restaurant, as it was a little less fruit-driven and more complex with finer acidity.

An evening with Laurent-Perrier (Connaught Hotel, London): Apparently one of the best selling rosé champagnes in the world, this is a rosé de saignée from 100% pinot noir sourced from ten grands crus vineyards. A very, very pale salmon colour. An interesting nose with plenty of earthy red fruit pinot noir character. Very fruity initially, then fills out to a fully dry wine with some ripe fruit showing through. Very well balanced and wonderfully elegant.

Bibendum Laurent Perrier Champagne tasting and dinner (Connaught Hotel, London): Another wine that was presumed to be very recent release, quite subdued on the night with muted fruit flavours. Lots of crisp acidity, a touch green and just a little harsh. Not what had been expected from the usually very expressive LP Rosé NV. In itself the wine was fine, mouthfeel good and a barely noticable hint of red fruits. Medium(-) length.

Last minute wine lunch (Gary's): Drank about 1/6th of the bottle over an hour. Bright red fruit which seems rather primary. I can't get it out of my head that this reminds me of carbonated red Koolaid, there seems to be a similarity there. Even so, this has been a pleasant but understated champagne and clearly others enjoyed it more than me.

During a MOT walkabout tasting. A Rosé de Saignée (or maceration one should rather say), darker pitched than the blended ones. I actually like this more. If feels authentically "red wine-ish" not just in color, but also on the palate with with lovely phenolics. The base NV Rosé Cuvée was already very good (94pt) and the Cuvee Alexandre (95pt) even more refined, but also 3x the price.

Valentine's Day with Steve & Barbara (Their House): Disgorged in the 3rd quarter of 2019 based on the C91 printed on the neck of the cork.
As usual, we allowed this bottle to slo-ox for about 10 minutes which allowed the wine to "calm down" thus increasing the perception of red fruits and allowing the mousse to become creamier. The wine continued to improve and became one of the better bottles of this wine that we've enjoyed. The red fruits that we encountered on both the nose and palate -- a red berry mélange of strawberry, cherry and raspberry -- were lively. There was a touch of citrus, the mousse was creamy and smooth, and the acidity was lively and balancing. These are the elements of this wine that draw us in and make drinking it so enjoyable. We continue to consider this our go-to rosé champagne but remain concerned about the wide bottle variation that we, and others, seem to have been experiencing.

(Disgorged in summer of 1986, base year 1981, 100% Pinot Noir)
Gently opening the bottle waiting for that slightest sound of a psscht revealing there”s still pressure left and raising the expectations for this almost 40 years old bottle. Deep blood orange colour with a gentle stream of bubbles rising in the glass showing baked bread and blood oranges at first. And with time in the glass it shows a lovely creamy note and then some burnt sugar in a delicious way. Smoothing orange citrus acidity combined with minerals and a creamy mid before the orange juicy finish takes over.
(Still showing a delicious effervescence and in a very refreshing style with almost 40 years extra cellaring)

The 100% pinot-noir LP rose undegoes a 48-to-72-hour maceration, giving it its rich black cherry color . Fresh and balanced; the acidity help cut through the tangy sauce

The most reductive in the market I am being told. They really don't use that much Pinot Meunier because they say its no aging well. It macerated. They cut the heads and tails off. So I guess its a Coeur de Cuvee, base vintage 2014 and lees aged for six years. Soft strawberry fruit to the nose, but also crisp and creamy on the mid palate.

My second note on this champagne. it's a no-brainer, well made, versatile on many kinds of food, from grilled shrimps/scampi to roasted chicken or a camembert cheese!
Among the NV rosé (and excluding the "rosé de saignée"), it's a good pick, alongside the Billecart-Salmon

Prior bottle was only two months ago, so my notes were very similar, but event called for it, so I was happy to open it. Lots of red cherry notes along with strawberry and some mineral/floral qualities on the nose. Medium bodied with red cherry and lighter strawberry upfront, moving to a red raspberry through the middle along with deeper red cherry. Backside shows tart red cherry and good acidity. This wine continues to drink so well with expressive fruit, good structure and an overall balance. I will certainly be adding more of these to the cellar soon.

France Trip: Paris, Champagne, Burgundy; 9/3/2023-9/17/2023 (Paris, Champagne, Burgundy): Medium sockeye salmon color. Drank a glass over 2 hours at Champagne Laurent-Perrier. Cold maceration, crushed by weight, not pressed, 24 to 36 hours and up to 72 hours. Color wil vary by vintage, but the goal is the same aromatic expression consistently. What a joy to sit and drink this while chatting with our hostess Angela about how this wonderful Rose is made every year. Simply a joy, and at a consistent level that few Rose Champagnes achieve and certainly even more rare in NV. blissful wild strawberries, raspberry, cinnamon spice, a touch of vanilla and cream, so very elegant and tingly long.

Prior bottle was 13 months ago and while its overall profile was very similar, the bottle from today was clearly more youthful. Really pretty mix of red cherry, strawberry and floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with red cherry both upfront and through the middle. Starts off with brighter, more tart red cherry, but opens up and rounds out through the middle, adding tart strawberry behind. The combination of brighter, more tart notes, with the more open rounded notes worked very well. Backside showed excellent acidity along with tart red cherry and mineral qualities. This bottle felt like it was just getting started and with time, could continue to integrate as well as open up with more time. May open my next bottle as soon as September 2023.

Pleasant NV Laurent-Perrier Champagne Cuvée Rose Brut.
Medium light pink in the glass with aromas of raspberries and lemon coming through the effervescence.
On the palate, abundant bubbles and smooth flavor sensations reflecting the wine’s aromas.
The finish a bit disappointing…a noticeable sour grapefruit flavor on the mid to back of palate…this is a NV Champagne purchased 3 years ago and maybe nearing “driinkability” range.

Probably the BEST NV Rose Champagne alongside Billecart-Salmon Brut Rose. Cuvee Rose Brut is aged on Lees for 5 years and uses 100% Pinot Noir grapes from 10 different Crus. and the grapes are macerated by a technique only known by the Laurent-Perrier house themselves. The mousse is great, the color is a light pink, the fruit taste is every succulent red fruit you can think of, especially Cherries, and Raspberries. The Champagne is amazing approachable and well rounded. It is dry but it finishes velvety and rich with fruit. Aftertaste is crisp, with a bright orange flavor and a bit of chalk. You can taste almost any red fruit you can imagine. Drink slowly and let it decant.

beautiful looking bottle, fun experience sharing with other members the experience of a highly rated universally liked bubbly. but in fact, although we quite liked it, and drank it all with no difficulty, for the price, locally $100, and $85 on wine searcher, i would say it is quite overpriced. for my taste this was slightly less enjoyable than a $65 veuve cliquot nv rose. over the last few days we have tried 4 nv rose's: mailly $65, montaudon $43, laurent perriier $100, and veuve cliquot $65. Of these, we will probably not try the first two again, and the last two were very similar with the veuve preferable in taste and enjoyment. For the price difference that makes the choice easy. if money is not a consideration, this is quite nice and would probably be better with more age. the disgorgement seems to have been in 3rd quarter of 2018.

Christmas Dinner with Pat & Alfio (At their apartment): One of the best bottles of this wine that we have enjoyed. Popped and allowed to slo-ox for 10 minutes. Lots of lively red fruits on both the nose and the palate -- a red berry mélange of strawberry, cherry and raspberry. There was a touch of citrus, the mousse was creamy and smooth, the acidity was lively and balancing and there was an overall fruity freshness in every sip. These are the elements of this wine that draw us in and make drinking it so enjoyable. Made from 100% Pinot Noir via the Saignee method.
A check of the cork showed that this bottle had been disgorged in the first quarter of 2021, making it the "freshest" bottle that we have experienced. I am happy that there is a movement to encourage Champagne producers to put the disgorgement date on the back label in the hopes of avoiding less than enjoyable drinking experiences.

Gorgeous light medium strawberry color. Drank a couple glasses on consecutive nights. I can just get wrapped up this for an evening, riffing off just the amazing freshness on the nose. Filled with fresh air, beautiful oyster shell aromas, wow, yeast, almond, chamomile, subtle florals and strawberry pastries on the pristine nose. The palate is the picture of elegance, so delicately framed in yet a deep and compelling tone. Cherry and strawberries, mid-weight but feather light, fine grained chalk minerality, pastry and chiffon, light spices, brine, with such purity and length. This is stellar juice, hands down the best NV Rose Champagne out there, and it stands up to many of the best vintage rose's out there. Listen, if you don't get excited about this Rose Champagne, I just don't know.

Based on the "A61" cork marking we know that this bottle was disgorged in the first quarter of 2016 -- I wish that all champagne producers put this info on the back label. As usual, we allowed this bottle to slo-ox for about 10 minutes which allowed the wine to "calm down" thus increasing the perception of red fruits and allowing the mousse to become creamier. The wine continued to improve a bit, but this bottle never reached the heights of some previous bottles as it just seemed to lack a bit of freshness.

Prior bottle was only 4 months ago, so my notes were virtually identical. Red cherry and brighter strawberry along with spice and floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied rounded red cherry upfront, along with brighter red cherry. Mid-body adds a lighter, background note of strawberry and the wine finishes with good acidity and nicely tart red cherry and lingering mineral qualities. The balance that I've so enjoyed with prior bottles continues to be a strength and I'll plan to purchase a few more bottles as soon as possible.

This is a delicious Rosé Champagne.
Light salmon in color with a peachy hue.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Nicely balanced with medium sized bubbles.
Showing raspberries, limes, citrus, green apples, grapefruits, herbs, yeast, spices, sea salt and minerals.
Needs 45 minutes to air properly, bring in more complexity, and smooth out the bubbles.
Rich and full of delicious red fruits, with a smooth mouthfeel. Not bitter nor tart, which I just loved. Tangy and interesting.
Easy drinking and good by itself, especially once it opens up, and good with food too.
A good choice to drink on the boat, with some beautiful weather.
100% Pinot Noir grapes.
12% alcohol by volume.

$75.

Very similar impression to my last note. This is a solid rose champagne. Fits what you think it should. Similar quality available at a better price point in grower champagne but it's something that you can always rely on. Does not jump out as great though. For an end of evening sipper it works just fine.

This is barely drinkable:
Overly acidic, no marrow whatsoever, nothing here.
The tiniest hint of "red berries".
I’d have been MUCH better off celebrating with a 10 quid Cava.

Nice red berry fruits (strawberry and raspberry) smooth and balanced. Acidity is unobtrusive. Disgorged Q4 2019 so 2.5 years in bottle - seems a good age.

Dinner in the Medoc Room (Meritage, St. Paul): Sockeye Salmon color. Drank 1 glass over 45 minutes. Classy and elegant as usual. An alluring nose of blissfully ripe wild strawberries, pastry cream, raspberry coulis, roses, sea spray and blood orange. The palate is again delicate, blissfully delicious, tingly acid and pristine stony minerality, strawberry parfait, and a fine creamy mousse with hints of brioche and toast. A great pairing with both the Ham & Asparagus Terrine with Crispy Soft Egg and Bearnaise, as well as the Salmon and Lobster Ballotine. 93+pts.

(Disgorged in fall of 2008, base year 2003, 100% Pinot Noir, dosage 9 gr/L)
Lovely orange red colour with a stream of fine bubbles. Maturing nose showing blood orange citrus notes, l minerals, baked bread and a touch of vanilla oakiness in a very pleasant way. Smoothing acidity with a pleasant orange citrus zest bitterness on the fruitful finish also showing a hint of vanilla. As always opening up in such a delicious way with a decade or more of post-disgorgement cellaring..
(Best with 5-15 years extra cellaring)

Better than the previous btl. Same degorgement year, same wanting bubbles and copper colour.
However, the piercing red berries are almost here and there is a satisfying creamy richness to the palate that unfortunately receedes only too quickly. Fleeting glimpse…
This wine was much better onboard the plane than in my living room, guessing that it has to do with the fact that what I drank in flight were bottles with more, younger and stiffer bubbles.

The color was like a deep salmon, quite a bit orange.
The first thing that hit my nose was notes of strawberries and bright red cherries.
On the palate, it had a lovely creamy mouthfeel and had identical notes to the aroma but with a hint of grapefruit toward the end. We were drinking it along side tiramisu and it was lovely for not being a sweet Champagne at all. We also tried a couple of Maraschino cherries along side the wine and it brought out this nice yeasty-bready flavor.

Prior bottle was a bit under two months ago, but I keep finding great occasions to open these bottles.... Nose was identical with a mixture of red cherry, floral and lighter, brighter strawberry notes. Medium bodied with the same combination of rounded red cherry and brighter, lively strawberry both upfront and through the middle. The mid-body continues to show good depth as well as balance from the tart qualities on the backside. Tart red cherry, acidity and minerals on the finish. This is a really harmonious wine, showing the fruit well but with the structural qualities for it to show as balanced and in a fashion that it should be able to maintain for a few more years. Considering how quickly I'm going through these and how popular it has been every time I open a bottle, I will clearly need more.

Another bottle that had been disgorged in the first quarter of 2016 - based on the "A61" cork marking. We allowed this bottle to slo-ox for about 10 minutes, but the red fruits were a bit muted, and the mousse was a bit crunchy (rather than creamy). There was some improvement in the wine as we celebrated the end of 2021 (more than the beginning of 2022), but this bottle never reached the heights of some previous bottles. We continue to consider this as our go-to rosé champagne but are getting concerned about the wide bottle variation that we, and others, seem to have been experiencing.

NYE 2021 (our place): Brought by BC. Mid depth of colour - salmon/strawberry pink with a copper tinge. The nose is dominated by red fruits - strawberries, raspberries and cherries. Bright and fresh. Palate: mid weight. Nice acidity for a PN based champagne. Good creamy mouthfeel. Well proportioned and a refined mousse. A reliable, quality and good value rosé champagne.

This was a rather underwhelming experience.:
Copper red, hardly any bubbles. Wife complains that it's "old feeling and also Champo feelings" in every bad sense of the concept.
The happy, playful red berries from my previously delayed flight just were not here.
For my bargain price.: I could have gotten three better bottlings of Cava… I will simply stop buying Champoo, as I obviously don't enjoy it particularly much. Already looking forward to my next good btl of Cava.

Prior bottle was only a month ago so my notes were essentially identical. Red cherry, strawberry and floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with red cherry and strawberry again the dominant notes. The red cherry shows roundness and depth while the strawberry contributes slightly contrasting, higher, brighter notes. Mid-body continues to show both good depth and good fruit expression. Tart red fruits and acidity provide the structure on the back as well as good length through the finish. Quite impressed with this wine all-around and will probably pick up some more.

Lots of very pretty strawberry notes on the nose along with red cherry, rose and a light toast note as it warms slightly. Medium bodied (12% ABV) with a well balanced mix of deeper red cherry and prominent strawberry both upfront and through the middle. The mid-body shows impressive roundness and density that really allows the fruit to shine. Nice tart notes and acidity provide structure on the backside and through the finish. Balance between fruit and tart notes and overall integration where the highpoints here. This wine is in a great spot right now and should drink well over the next few years. I'll certainly need to add some to my cellar for current drinking.

Opened three hours ahead. Crispy shortbread, red berry sorbet, crisp red apple, and light minerality on the nose. Juicy strawberry and raspberry on the palette, amazingly pure. Then the sweet red apple and a little yeast. Lovely deep colour, the colour of wild keta salmon, rather than farmed salmon. The palette is thirst quenching. It’s a little richer for the bottle age, but the biggest difference to a current release is in the nose and the colour.

Disgorged in the second quarter of 2018. 100% Pinot Noir from 10 crus located mainly in the north and south of Montagne de Reims including Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois and Tours‐sur‐Marne.
Three hour slow oxidation. Pours a pale blood orange fading to a deep salmon pink. High toned with slightly candied red fruits, red apple skin, wild strawberry, pomegranate, watermelon, polished steel, and white bread dough. Incredibly light and spring water fresh with a sweet burst of white peach and nectarine. Falls a little short in terms of depth and complexity required to take take his to the next level.

Very nice on the nose showing seashell, strawberries, vanilla fudge and a slight touch of burnt sugar in a delicious way. Smoothing acidity on the mature palate showing strawberry jam, and some dark chocolate notes before the lengthy finish showing some herbs and a smooth lime citrus note. Drinking extremely well right now and in a very pleasant spot with a smoothness and roundness that is just delicious.

The Columbia Group - Back Together Again (Our Place): Wow. The conversation was lively (after an almost 2 1/2 year absence) and the Champagne was needed to counteract the dry throats that resulted. So, a second bottle of this wine was put into service. It had been sitting in the fridge "just in case", but was not given any time to slo-ox before being served. So, as good as it was, it was just a bit less enjoyable than the first bottle, as the fruits were a bit muted, and the mousse was a bit more aggressive -- it did improve as it sat in our glasses.
Checking the cork the next morning showed that this bottle had also been disgorged in the first quarter of 2016.

The Columbia Group - Back Together Again (Our Place): This bottle was uncorked when the last couple arrived and allowed to sit for ~15 minutes while the Billecart-Salmon Rose was being enjoyed over several toasts. This slo-ox allowed this wine to open and integrate, resulting in the most enjoyable bottle of this Champagne that we have experienced (well, maybe it was also due, in part, to the occasion and the company...).
The red fruits that we encountered on both the nose and palate -- a red berry mélange of strawberry, cherry and raspberry -- were lively, and presented a distinct difference vs. the Billecart-Salmon Rose that preceded. There was a touch of citrus, the mousse was creamy and smooth, and the acidity was lively and balancing. These are the elements of this wine that draw us in, and make drinking it so enjoyable.
I put the cork aside and checked it out the next morning, discovering that this bottle had been disgorged in the first quarter of 2016, making it one of the "freshest" bottles that we have experienced. Once again, I, for one, am happy that there is a movement to encourage Champagne producers to put the disgorgement date on the back label in the hopes of avoiding less than enjoyable drinking experiences.
Please note: I believe that Champagnes can benefit from a short slo-ox, just like virtually every other wine. Don't worry about losing bubbles -- there are 49 million of them in a standard (750 ml) bottle (according to Bill Lembeck, whose opinions, and calculations, I regard very highly).

Simple and klunky, transitioning to pretty much the ultimate in N/V elegance. There you go, elegant, fine bubbles and mousse, sea brreezes, strawberry chiffon, tarragon, floral. The palate is finessed, expansive, strawberry chantilly cream, raspberry, tangy, hints of white pepper, delicate minerality, long and refreshing. 93+pts.

Our "go-to" Rose Champagne. We've had this champagne many times, but with widely varying results. Our CT scores range from 87 to 92 and, I believe, have some relationship to the disgorgement date, i.e., the freshness of the wine.
After opening this bottle we allowed it to slo-ox for about 15 minutes which, as in the past, allowed the wine to open. I put the cork aside without checking the disgorgement date.
The red fruits that we encountered on both the nose and palate were quite muted, and did not improve with additional air time. This affected our enjoyment of the wine as these elements are what draw us in. The mousse was creamy but lively, and the acidity was solid.
After a while I checked out the cork and discovered that this bottle had been disgorged in the second quarter of 2013, potentially reinforcing our "freshness theory". I, for one, am happy that there is a movement to encourage Champagne producers to put the disgorgement date on the back label in the hopes of avoiding less than enjoyable drinking experiences.

Lovely red colour with an endless stream of fine bubbles, this is still feeling very youthful with lots of red berries, fresh dough and minerals in a very pleasant way. Should reward further cellaring to get some more intensity on the finish.
(Probably best with 5-20 years extra cellaring)

I was quite keen to try this wine. I am loathe to be too critical of a wine that so many drinkers obviously enjoy so much and it is possible I picked up a bottle that wasn't in its prime (although there were no obvious issues, such as cork taint). I found this wine to be quite ordinary fare. Bronze colour, some brioche and strawberry, slightly short finish, a not especially fine bead and it lacked vivacity. Also not noticeably present was the creamy mouthful of which some speak. As I say, with a wine produced in this volume, I may just have picked up a tired bottle, or one from a less good batch. However, I won't be going back. There is more interesting and enjoyable drinking in this style. I would drink Billecart-Salmon, Bollinger, or some Oz or NZ rose styles ahead of this.

Elegant, with colour changing naturally from a pretty raspberry hue to salmon pink.
A precise nose of extraordinary freshness and a wide range of red fruits: raspberry, redcurrant, strawberry and black cherry.
A fresh and sharp attack for this supple and rounded wine. On the palate, it offers the sensation of plunging into a basket of freshly picked red berries.
Best served between 8°C and 10°C.

Medium Sockeye Salmon red color. Split bottle over 3 hours. Probably the gold standard in NV Rose Champagne. Pretty much spot on to my note from 5-15-20. These strike a balance between power and elegance with the finesse tipping the scale. Creamy on the palate, lovely fruits, mixed red berries, cherry and citrus abound, yeasty, refined chalk, floral spice notes, and a hint of almonds. Love it.

Retail $85. 100% Pinot Noir. Perhaps the standard-bearer when it comes to rosé champagne, I tasted this as part of a blind tasting of widely-available pink bubbles for Champagne Day, 2020. Rich pink-reddish color, almost a light red. A bit yeasty and flinty on the palate but surprisingly low on fruit on both the nose and palate. A lively sparkle and intense tartness and, again, heavy on minerality and yeast. I was surprised upon the reveal as I usually gravitate to those champagnes that are heavy on the Pinot Noir. Still, very good. thedrunkencyclist.com

Champagne Day 2020. Tasted upon opening, then given a 15 minute slo-ox which definitely allowed the wine to open. The disgorgement date was the 1st quarter of 2015. This is our favorite Rose Champagne, in part because it is 100% pinot noir, produced via Saignee.
Faint strawberry aromas, followed by a red berry melange of strawberry with touches of cherry and raspberry on the palate, with a creamy but lively mousse, and solid acidity.

Much darker pink in color than I remember it. It is almost more of a red rose than a blush rose. Nevertheless, as an entry level NV Rose, it is delicious and always a great way to start the evening. However, I prefer Billecart NV Rose a touch more.

A classic "entry" level rose', very well made and pleasant. This said, definitely inferior to the stallwarth entry level Billecart-Salmon rose'. Laurent-Perrier is easier, "strawberrier" and sweeter. Billecart is so much more complex, above all in its mineral component, more focused and fresh and less sweet.

Fits the bill nicely for a rosé champagne that pairs well with food. I think the color caught me off guard...deep ruby colored in the glass. Aromatically it shows lots of strawberries, rhubarb, limestone and rich strawberry spread. Balanced and “down the middle” on the palate...not super light and refreshing (like Billecart) but obviously not super rich and oxidative (like Krug). Strawberry cream, gummy fruits and chalk round out the finish. Non offensive and fairly classic. At the price point, Charles Heidsieck Rosé takes the cake for me.

New Year's (Chicago, IL): In a non-pejorative way, this is a rose that seems to hew more closely to a mass-market easy-consumption style. It's a little sweet and just has a very cheerful disposition. It's actually a bit more rich and layered than a pleasant fizzy chugger, and you can find that complexity if you want to spend the time to look for it.

Allowed a 10 minute slo-ox after opening (with no discernable loss of effervescence), and I believe it helped to make this bottle better than the bottle consumed earlier this month. With thanks to Arvidpalmqvist, we now know that the disgorgement date was 3rd quarter of 2017, same as the previous bottle.
Faint strawberry aromas, followed by more obvious strawberry on the palate, along with other red fruit, a creamy mousse, and solid acidity that allowed the wine to complement the hors d'oeuvres and the mushroom ravioli in butter sauce.

Quite dark, strawberry juice colour. Very mild nose, just a faint whiff of berry fruit. Moderate flavour, chewy pinot fruit. Taut, almost austere. I'm not sure about this. It's perhaps too serious for a rosé, lacking generosity. Best with food, I'd imagine. Slips down fine but not worth the RRP, leaves me a bit cold. My 500th champagne tasting note published on CT!

It's been a while - too long - since our last bottle. This bottle was not our best, but certainly satisfying. The red fruits were a bit muted, both on the nose and the palate, allowing the yeastiness to show. The mousse was fine and lively, and the acidity was spot on.
Still looking for someone who can help us determine the disgorgement date.

I’m a little confused— me and the guys at Sutton Wine Shop can’t find any dates on any Billecart or Laurent brut rosé. Or perhaps Brute Rosé.
So I’m reviewing the NV Laurent Rosé. (Does the cellie translate bar codes into vintages? I was feeling so on top of things earlier, too..)
A light orange pink, quick-vanishing frothy mousse, but a very persistent bead of six or seven streams of tiny bubbles. (A few neon tetras could easily become a school in there.)
I have a some hay flax and strawberry notes, a bit ponderous, but not bad. I think it’s more mineral and a bit of stems than grapefruits but I gotta say ok to Ruby Reds. Tough to shake the idea (and scent) of pink grapefruit based on the color of the beverage alone. (It’s uncannily like the juice left in the bowl after a grapefruit was therein devoured.)
90-91
I think I prefer billecart but this stuff’s similar.
(I been spoiling this bistro. I came in with this swill tonight and they said corkage if they sell it — I said how much for either and turns out they don’t sell it. POURED 1994 Hillside, 2000 Yquem, Multiple Deuce Chambertin, 96 Margaux, etc liberally all around here lately. Ah human nature.)

Ditto to bestdamncab’s note from April. It looks almost as orange as it does pink in color. Luxurious texture with a melange of tropical and farm-fresh fruits. I love the little bite of pink grapefruit on the finish. Delicious bubbly. 5+13+17+8= 93

Opening the 2019 Season by the Sea (El Portal - Alicante): From a bottle opened to me. A shot of all the berries in the world in yogurt, especially currants but with elegance and a defined style. It is not the most aristocratic, of course, but has its audience. Served very cold and leaving it to warm up in the glass it appears a good density crustacean flavors and a powerful, long finish.
De una botella abierta para mí. Un golpe de todas las bayas del mundo en yogurt, especialmente a grosellas pero con elegancia y un estilo definido. No es el más aristocrático, de acuerdo, pero tiene su público. Servido bien frío y dejando que se caliente en la copa aparece una buena densidad sabores a crustáceos y un poderoso, largo final.

Lovely copper red colour with a very pleasant nose reminiscent of a warm summers evening with an incipient maturity showing freshly baked bread, sea shells, hazelnuts and ocean covering the wild strawberries backing it all up. Palate with a soft acidity combined with fresh strawberries to continue the summer feeling that is so much needed in this winter darkness we have here in the north of Europe right now. So lovely in its youth, and knowing how gracefully it evolves with extended cellar time, this is the perfect cuvée for both short and long term drinking. Tonight marching the lobster soup as good as it was an aperitif too!
(Best with 0-20 years of extra cellar time)

Having consumed dozens of bottles of this, surprised I have not yet written a note! Copper colored, pleasant raspberry and strawberry melange of fruit with mineral complexity and a nice citrus rind finish. From a bottle cellared at least a few years these seem to take on more complexity and this one didn't disappoint as it seemed to change a little each time you came back to it.

Thanks to super somm "Ric Ecrane" we had our own personal bottle to share over the morning. This is a delightful wine. Everything I want in my rose Champagne is there in perfect balance. Year in and year out what they do is quite impressive. This is delicate and elegant while offering a creamy palate with vibrant and pure strawberry fruit, hints of almond, perfect mineral notes and a great lifted feel on a the long finish. 93+pts.

PnP. One of the best bottles of this wine that we've experienced in a while. A beautiful clear pink color, with very fresh red berry aromas. On the palate the wine presents a dry, creamy mousse, with plenty of fresh, juicy strawberry, and touches of raspberry, cherry, minerality and faint brioche. All in all, a fresh, lively, festive, rose champagne.
Still looking for someone who can help us determine the disgorgement date.

(Disgorged summer of 1986 with base year 1981, 100% Pinot Noir)
Deep orange colour with a wonderful stream of fine bubbles. Lovely maturing nose with an explosion of strawberries, coffee, fudge and resin from the start. With glass time it opens up with notes of lilac and roses in a very seductive way. Intense on the palate with a nice smooth acidity and fruitfulness with strawberries that are drying up, an excellent mid part holding up before the long lasting finish showing hints of leather and a softened lemon acidity before a peppery note take over on the tip of the tongue...
I’m amazed how well preserved this bottle was, being a non-vintage rosé and still showing plenty of fruit and with a smooth structure, the storage must have been exceptionally well . This is one of the best mature rosé champagnes that I’ve had and a wonderful match with a confit de canard with rhubarb chutney matching its peppery notes perfectly. (Best with 5-15 years of extra cellaring)

I enjoyed this but I really think that I should have paired this with food. Instead of strawberries, pudding at that kind of crap, I think a lot of Rose Champagnes work better with pink game dishes or rack of lamb.
My best Rose Champagne match to date was Bolly 2002 with rack of lamb. A lot of Champagne marketing focuses on more 'feminine' food pairings, but I suspect that LPR could handle meatier options.

Celebratory toast to the new year. This bottle was one that we brought back from our Reims visit in the Fall of 2016. It has no importer info on the back label as it is meant only for domestic consumption within France.
PnP. The red fruit aromas and flavors were more muted than expected, and there was a touch of yeastiness on the palate. The mousse was fine and lively, and the acidity was spot on. This is one of our favorite champagnes, and our absolute favorite rose.
Is it possible that the assemblage for domestic consumption differs from that for export?? Or was this bottle simply showing some age?? I would love to know how to determine the disgorgement dates of these champagnes.

Great energy, seamless with a lacy, creamy elegance with graceful yet fully defined features. The nose gets you geared up with a burst of red berry fruits and effervescent minerality that dances across the nose hairs. Strawberry chiffon, with a floral freshness and yeastiness. The palate is refined, classy, medium bodied, great finesse and definition, strawberry, strawberry chiffon, creamy texture, roses, crystalline minerality and nice persistence.

Unsure when disgorged - acquired dec 2015. Medium mousse, lovely pink verging into salmon. Nice strawberry, rose petal aromatics.

Q3 - 2017 Tasting - Champagne & Caviar - OH MY!! (New York, NY): Wine 14/17 tasted blind - YES - finally a rose in the line up (surprisingly the only one!). Again a nice changed up for the palate, on the nose some strawberries and watermelon, on the palate good acidity and balance and the hint of strawberry. Very enjoyable. Group voted 5 pennies.

Champagne & Caviar: a lesson in decadence (The Apt): Wine #14: Even in a blind tasting sometimes you can just recognize a bottle. Surprising that it was the first and only rose in the group. Hints of strawberry. There's a bit more depth here or at least I sensed that although the flavors themselves were a bit less complex than some of the others. A fun wine. (5 pennies)

From memory. Definitely a bottle with cellar time. Much more evolved aromas with ripe, wild strawberries, dough/yeast and some light smoke/forest floor, providing fine complexity and very good depth. Considerably fresher palate, with strawberries and ripe raspberries, hints of watermelon, and light spices. Fine balance and backbone. Liked it a lot. 91 - 92p.

PnP. Much better than our last bottle on 12/18/16, but still showing bottle age. The color was a golden/red, and the red fruit aromas were somewhat muted. These red fruits of cherry and raspberry carried over to the palate, with a touch of yeast. The mousse was fine and lively, and the acidity was spot on. One of our favorite champagnes, and our absolute favorite rose (because it is 100% pinot via saignee), but showing some age tonight. Last of three bottles purchased at auction. Would love to know how to determine the disgorgement dates of these champagnes.

The wine was dark salmon in colour, with medium-intense, medium-fine perlage. It offered good, full red fruit, strawberry, ripe apple, toast, brioche, chalk and some smoke on the nose and palate, with creamy mousse, medium to medium-plus acidity and very good length. A good champagne in its own way, rather plump, more like a ripe Pinot Noir rosé saignée. It hence left me longing for a little more freshness. Not my preferred style.

Bright salmon color. Nose shows chalky, dusty limestone, white flowers and pastry dough on top of some white cherries and wild strawberries. Brisk and bright and full of minerals and white and red flowers, I get lots of white cherries and tart strawberries. Chalky, limestone notes, sea salt and toasted baguette elements. Impressive complexity and depth, but it stays so lively and fresh. All Pinot Noir.

wonderful salmon color in the baloon. At the nose some aromatic notes, palate consistent with balanced minerality and a cascade of strawberries. At 12-13 Celsius pinot noir characters emerge clearly at the palate with typical scents and aftertaste.
All in all very nice although a little bit short on expectations.
Best paired with a risotto with black truffles and shrimps. PD agrees across the night

The color of this pretty brut rosé exactly matches the label, I’m sure that’s intentional. It’s fine-boned and delicate with convivial seed pearl bubbles and aromas of ripe raspberries, tart red currants, blood orange and rose petal. Lively and fresh on entry, Laurent-Perrier’s pink shows very little yeast, the merest suggestion wet dough, fleeting and submerged by a cut that’s very clean, linear and minerally. Perfect with fish tacos and ceviche from a local Taqueria in Santa Cruz. 12.0% ABV | Sample

First time using this scoring method, may have to work out some kinks..
this wine is lovely, however, after six months off, it has a bit too much red apple for me, and is very much red fruit almost unilaterally. Lots of ACID...It is almost all this through the really long finish...Through writing this note I have changed the score 3 times. Left half the bottle to move to red. This wine is MUCH better after some time in the glass to warm up a bit.

Dry, effervescent, and long, this shows a salmon orange appearance and brims with peach, lime, and white raspberry aromas over notes of yeast, biscuits, and cream. Complex, structured and layered, and very full in the mouth. Sports a tiny, active bead, creamy mouthfeel, juicy acidity, and cherries on the vigorous finish. Lovely.

The palate delves deep with nice structure to the cherry fruits, bread dough, orange, and stony minerality. The tannins are impressive and this lingers nicely with additional spice notes.

One of our favorite champagnes, and our absolute favorite rose, but not up to snuff tonight. The usual red fruits were underwhelming, and the toasty notes dominated. The mousse was fine and lively, and no obvious flaws. The bottle was purchased at auction, and we suspect it was old. If anyone can interpret the L23 number (just under the back label), and/or the code on the cork, to determine the disgorgement date, we would be grateful.

I thought this just wasn't a fine wine, at least not this showing. The paul clouet the other day just blew this out of the water. That was 35 bucks and this was 55. Wine is a strange weird journey.

This had been kept in a not very cold cellar for 2-3 years. Had on a sunny summer day and that was very suitable - beautiful strawberry and raspberry on nose and palate jumping into your face. Graceful, salivating, persistent, dry but not too dry. Probably the best showing of this champagne in my memory - comes to show how much pretty much all champagnes, NVs included, stand to gain from letting them rest in bottle for a couple of years!

El punto de partida de este rosado es una selección de champagnes bruts de la bodega. Con ello se obtiene este vino delicado, fragante, en el que encontramos desde toques de naranja sanguina y frescos y vivaces toques de frutillos del bosque. En boca cuenta con un paso por boca cremoso, bastante buena sensación de acidez, con mucha fruta fresca, largo y seductor.

The Laurent Perrier Rose NV is salmon/orange in colour. I'd agree with other tasting notes that the nose is big and bold with strawberries, ginger, and almost imperceptible amounts of orange. Great acidity. There are red berry fruits on the palate with concomitant citrus fruits in the background.
Laurent Perrier Rose NV is a nice, interesting wine with good complexity but it lacks the sheer elegance of similar priced Rose wines such as Joseph Perrier 2004 Vintage & Billecart-Salmon etc.
There are superior Rose champagnes out there at this price point so whilst I'd happily drink this if offered at a party, I wouldn't necessarily purchase it again unless it was on offer.
Whilst not a Rose, the 2004 Vintage from Laurent Perrier is definitely superior and better value for money.

Consistently is the best N.V Rose Champagne on the market currently. (Under 100$) I had this bottle for 3 years in the cellar, and I noticed a huge difference compared to a fresher bottle.
This bottle had softened out a little with a nice delicate bubble. Not as much fruit as a fresher bottle however much more crisp citrus notes came through. More brioche on the nose compared to other bottles I have had. My favourite rose NV champagne so far!

Champagne house champagnes do go through periods when they are excellent and periods when they are not so excellent. Veuve Cliquot comes to mind. My last three bottles of this champagne over the last fifteen months or so tell me that this may be the case with Laurent Perrier - sparse, a bit of harshness, and more or less lacking overall. Hopefully, it was just those three bottles, but maybe not.

A saignée rosé Champagne made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes macerated for 48 to 72 hours, depending on the vintage. Aged for a minimum of 5 years in bottles on the lees before disgorging.
Relatively deep rosé color of onion skin hue turning towards subtle bronze. The nose feels quite rich and powerful with an overhanging note of reductive gunpowder smoke, revealing nuanced aromas of ripe red cherries, earthy Pinosity, some cranberries and a hint of toasty autolysis underneath. Overall the nose feels more fruit-forward than autolytic. The wine is dry, acid-driven and medium-bodied on the palate with intense flavors of steely minerality, ripe dark cherries, tart redcurrants, some lemony citrus fruits, a little bit of tart green apples, a hint of spicy Pinosity and a touch of sour cherry bitterness. The mousse feels very aggressive and fizzy, but also impressively lengthy. The high acidity lends good sense of structure for the wine. The finish is lean and racy with very acid-driven flavors of tart citrus fruits, steely minerality, spicy Pinosity, some juicy raspberry and sweeter cherry notes, a little bit of tart redcurrants and a hint of autolytic mocha character.
A wine representing bigger, deeper and more vinous style than your average Champagne rosé. I enjoy this kind of hefty style pretty much, but I really could've used a bit more toasty complexity: now the wine is very fruit-forward and structure-driven, but showing very little depth beyond that crunchy Pinosity. Fortunately the wine is structured and racy with lovely, incisive minerality, which make the wine feel both very balanced and promising in regards to aging it in a cellar. Overall the wine feels still very youthful and I guess it could gain some welcome complexity with additional cellaring - at least it feels like the wine is built for it.

KR's Farewell (Imperial Treasure, Great World City): Consistently decent, this was a nice aperitif to start the evening off with. The nose showed pleasant strawberry, apple and lemon peel aromas seasoned with a little mineral and spice. On the palate, fine mousse and a decent balance formed a nice frame for rather fleshy flavours of strawberries, cherries and more citrusy green apples as the wine moved into a finish of warm spice and mineral. With time, a little floral note came out as well. Decently good.

I bought this bottle off eBay.FR for $48. The label was different than current label & came in a gift tin from the 1970's. Guessing this was ~40 years old, a rare find & risk to open.
Shared w 2 other couples, all of us v well educated on wine. This had lovely copper tones and had developed a full body complex flavor. We were all fans and v surprised at how lovely this had aged.
I would definitely risk purchasing old wines online, given this was a lovely surprise.

Entirely spectacular. Gorgeous in the glass, with a glowing copper-pink color and vigorous effervescence. The nose yields spring flowers and autumn cakes. The palate is exemplary, blending summer fruit and winter wassail. This is a wine of for all seasons. For Easter dinner, including rack of lamb, asparagus and mashed cauliflower, this was an ideal accompaniment. Though the bottle itself is a memorable masterpiece, the Champagne is the star. I only wish I had bought more when I had the chance.

I haven't always been the biggest fan of rose champagne as they are much more pricy and sometimes have cork issues...
However I was thrilled with this style of rose, which had the wonderful red fruits of a still red wine, with a touch of wood that was not the pleasant part, but the orchard fruit, mineral and fine mousse were wonderful. great finish too!

From a magnum, dégorgement 2010 (January if my interpretation of the Lot number is correct). Received as a gift for our wedding in 2010.
Needs an hour to open. Drinks incredibly well. The pinot fruit shows it's characteristics of age with fraises des bois and forest floor, a slightly musky side. There is a delightful fève tonka nutty, buttery sweetness.
The palate is fresh, full and well balanced by a bright acidity.
Superb.

Annual Tasting Group Holiday Party (La Belle Vie, Mpls): Pale salmon color. Tasting pour. This was very good, nice mix of strawberry and cherry on the nose with pleasant yeast and a spritzy minerality. The palate is delicate with lovely berries and bit of cream character with citrus undertone and a clean fresh minerality and a bit of exotic character to boot. Not a cheap N/V, but of excellent quality and pedigree.

Tasted blind.
Surprisingly deep and dark color for a rosé bubbly: somewhat bronze-toned dark peach orange color. The nose is rich and quite powerful with a subtly reductive note of gunpowder, revealing notes of cherries, tart red fruits and a hint of red apples underneath. Feels more fruit-forward than toasty. The wine feels quite full-bodied and vinous on the palate with rich flavors of cherries, some tart cranberries, light toasty autolysis, a little bit of strawberry marmalade and a hint of tangy mineral brightness. Overall the wine feels very structured with rich, somewhat aggressively fizzy and persistent mousse and high, racy acidity. The finish is juicy, long and quite spicy with rich flavors of cherries, some earthy Pinosity, a little bit of juicy strawberry-driven sweeter fruit, a hint of ripe green apples and a touch of chalky minerality.
A surprisingly big, serious and vinous rosé Champagne that seems to be more about heft and structure than of those delicate and refreshing qualities so many producers seek in their pink bubblies. I prefer this kind of more substantial style. Impressive and delicious, a notch or two above the regular white NV Cuvée of Laurent-Perrier.

The palate is sensual and sensuous, with bright berries and a hint of biscotti on the finish. Mike declared this the best champagne he's ever had. And the bottle shaped for a king is a fitting memory for Patti, queen of nurses forever!

N.V Laurent Perrier Champagne Cuvée Rosé Brut
Drank at 10-12 degrees in Burgundy glasses (100% Grand Cru Pinot Noir - Saignée method)
Soft inviting nose of strawberries & cream, blood orange & fresh roses.
Elegant fine beading & complexity in the mouth. Shimmering acidity on the palate, through to a lingering creamy finish. There are no sharp notes, or bite to this wine. It is a gorgeous Rosé Champagne to enjoy as an aperitif or could pair well with canapés garnished w salmon pearl, or perhaps w dessert as the residual sugar in the wine appears low.

Finally I got round to trying this highly-rated pink champagne. Quite dark. Lovely sugared redcurrant aroma. Great taste. A good classic brut backbone with plentiful round red fruit on top - and a little nectarine and plenty of apple. It's certainly good - but decidedly *not* worth the RRP. However, it was on offer and then I got 25% off on top, so it's fine. [Cork + cage; 12% abv; Sainsbury's, on offer at £50-25%=£37.50]

Long overdue to review this. Fortunately day was #champagneday :)
This Rosé Brut has a very vibrant pink , salmon orange color.
One the nose one gets aromas of red cherry, some hints of strawberry, pomegranate.
In the mouth, it shines best on the front palate. with great red fruits, zippy acidity, carrying over to the mid palate, with
a nice creaminess that coasts the tongue. The finish is a a bit short, & a tiny bit biting, I believe that may change with some cellar time.
Overall, an excellent bottle.

This rose was a little bit tight after the first several sips and seemed a little bit out of balance. However, with more time in the glass everything eventually started to come together. The Laurant-Perrier has very deep fruit flavors that lean much more in the direction of cherries, rather than strawberries or raspberries. In fact, this probably has more fresh cherry flavors than any other rose champagne that I have tasted. The overall quality of this rose is also very good. However, at the $60 to $70 price point, there are so many other fabulous roses on the market that it makes it very hard for Laurant-Perrier to compete. For example, the similarly priced Pierre Peters Rose Albane blows this out of the water in my view. Nonetheless, everyone's palate is different, and this could have lots of appeal to someone who loves cherry flavors in their rose.

Not incredibly lively, but quite focused considering its substantial heft. Attendees more knowledgeable than I surmised that this bottle probably had at least 5 years of age on it (no disgorgement date was on the bottle anywhere). Low end of excellent.

Somewhat oxidated figgy to baked apple fruit on the nose with complementing notes of copper, bread and meat.

What a great surprise. I was expecting a nice wine, but this was truly spectacular. This sat in my cellar for 5+ years, and time has been kind. Very stubborn cork; I'm getting weak in my middle age. Light copper colored. Amazing purity of red fruit, with stunning bouquet of strawberry, cherry, and a little citrus. Similar palate, with the addition of burnt sugar and orange notes. Very crisp and fresh but still creamy, with a lively fine mousse.

Dinner with Monthly Group at the Laws (Gallop Green): This on was of the better bottles of NV Rosé Brut I have had from Laurent-Perrier in recent times. Always decent, but rarely spectacular, at least this bottle showed quite nicely. Strawberries and raspberry scents on the nosed were met with a touch of mineral and some earthy undergrowth notes. Pretty pleasant. Much the same could be said about the palate. Really fresh, with a pretty fine mousse and pretty solid balance, it showed middle-weighted flavours of strawberry and raspberries spiked with a squeeze of citrusy lemon. It had a good finish too, showing decent length with a touch of spice. Nothing overly complex, but this was a very solid, if rather unexciting, Rosé. Not surprisingly, it went beautifully with fresh Korean strawberries as well.

Bottle bought in 2004.
Strawberries and redcurrants on the rich nose with slight animality, face powder, slight burnt sugar, orange, florals, bread and liquorice.
Dry and medium bodied palate with smooth moussé and rich feel complemented by some nice bitterness. Toffee and fresh herbs towards the refreshing aftertaste. Doesn't really last that long, especially after getting some air.
Nice stuff with some obvious age on it. Rich and pretty complex profile.

Drank on NYE so no formal notes. While very nice this wasn't outperforming some of my $15 favorites by any margin that would justify the price differential. Granted I'm still learning "champagne" and sparkling wine altogether but the value hunter me thinks best to look to a different region. That said 184 people at 90.2pts seem to disagree with me...

Dinner with the Monthly Group (Park Palace, Grand Park Hotel): Pretty moribund bottle. Not a bad Champagne, but not great, and quite devoid of character. Slightly muted nose showed some strawberries and mineral. The palate was actually a little imbalanced at first, with a highly acidic sour cherry note - a little tart at the edges and a bit of heat at the finish. With time, the wine did come together somewhat, with the agreesive acidity toning down a little, some attractive lemon flavours opening up the mid-palate, and the finish showing more mineral and a dry backbone. Decent, but very uninspiring. A bit tired actually - storage issues?

Laurent Perrier "2010 Christmas Range" Tasting (Quintessentially Soho, London, UK): Possibly the most famous Champagne from Laurent Perrier, this is one of the last rose wines that macerates the grapes rather than blending both red and white grapes. The blend is 100% Pinot Noir, and aged for 4 years with a much more natural salmon pink colour in comparison to other Champagnes. Unfortunately, this tasted rather light after the LP 2000 vintage, but the aroma of fresh strawberries on the nose is uncanny! Other red fruits such as redcurrants and cherries dominate the palate. It is rounded yet supple on the finish, one of the fruitiest Champagnes I've tasted! ****

Odd Bottle Night (Ming Kee, Macpherson Road): I much preferred the last bottle of this wine I had. Still a decent Rosé Brut, but this did seem a little tired and unconvincing from Laurent-Perrier. Nose was pleasant enough, if a bit on the sweet and fruity side. Quite a bit of funky earth notes. a bit of umami and some toastiness, but all this was riding on little waves of sweet cherry and rose petal scents, along with whiffs of fresh cut flowers. Palate was quite pretty, as the nose suggested, but just a little insubstantial. Nice balance, with a light bright touch, it showed more cherries and strawberries on the attack, before moving into a drier mid-palate. It just lacked a punch beyond that though, finishing rather shortish and truncated with a little burst of mineral. Storage issue? Or was the last bottle I had just punching above its weight-class?

Berrys Champagne School (BBR): BBR Champagne tasting. €75 per bottle. (I understand that this is regarded as one of the best NV rosés on the market (along with Billecarte-Salmon). Macerated on the lees rather than having red blended in.) A tabby, almost pink-brown, appearance, although it nonetheless looks young and fresh. Very vibrant mousse - smallest bubbles of any Champagne yet seen today, and with extremely pacy ascension in the glass. The nose is still very much Champagne (not red wine or still rosé), but with the pleasant addition of some red fruit notes (raspberry and cranberry), and also vanilla (!). The palate is interesting - at first not hugely different to the white Champagnes, only on the finish does the red fruit re-appear. Very pleasant. Medium-long, fruity finish. Good plus.

Nice light fruit on the palate with mouth-watering acidity. Delicious to the last drop and very sophisticated.

Boating party with the monthly group (One Degree Fifteen, Sentosa): Medium-sized bead, but rather frothy, salmon pink in colour. Nose opened with yeast and bread dominant and just the slightest bit of cherry marking it as a rose rather than a normal Brut. Palate was very dry, with ripe apple and fresh strawberry tones along with a nice seam of mineral especially when the wine moved into the decent finish. I thought it was a bit straightforward at first, although very nicely integrated, but the wine showed promises of underlying complexity as it took on some air. This is one NV that could do with a little bottle age. Good - but nowhere near the phenomenal Billecart-Salmon Rose.

Nose delicate of strawberries initially, mousse strong as one would expect on opening, taste not well integrated with a strong citrus finish. Dissapointing initially.Left for an hour.Mousse then delicate, tiny and attractive. Nose better integrated , taste complex, seductive very well structured. Citrus finish no longer. A wonderful improvement. Reminiscent of an an 86 Dom Ruinart rose recently tasted though not in the same league so far at least. I suspect that this wine will improve dramatically with age even though non vintage.

Stunningly good champagne but it really gets the 100 because of the event we were celebrating. My wife is pregnant!

Poured at a retailer tasting. Aromas of strawberry and apples. Nice acidity, with a persistent bead and flavors of berries, toast and biscuit. Long finish.

Poured at a retailer tasting. Very pale color. Muted, with subtle floral tones discernable. Subtle red fruit flavors, with a short finish.

My first thought was wow, this smells kind of like a Bugey-Cerdon. Though with some swirling i banished the thought. Quite lemony and tart, a little tight. Seems less concentrated than some of the previous wines this evening, but there is a wonderful balance here between sweet and tart flavors. In fact i would almost call this painfully tart. Tasty!

This is truly a wonderful bottle of wine. Refreshing, with interesting flavors and never-ceasing bubbles, this one is great as an aperitif, but will also be very nice with lighter foods. Highly recommended. 5/5 stars.

Beautiful notes of pinot noir throughout. Sweet cherries and hints of toasted almonds rushing across the palate. That rush didn't deliver, however. The wonderful flavors had little length and left us wanting more of the initial sensation. Very nice, but not earthshaking.

A well-executed wine. It's simultaneously soft and precise, with a fine, persistent bead, a lovely true pink color, and berry flavors throughout. Strawberry on the nose, tart cherry on the midpalate, and a creamy mousse are all followed by a mid-length finish of something like slate. This is basically what I hope for in a rose: it looks pretty, it tastes fruity, and it's refined and feminine. I do agree with those who say that you have a right to expect more profundity for the price; it's certainly not a monument. I'm inclined to say, though, that it's nicely done.

More show than go. Nice mousse, bit pale pink, innocuous nose, not too crowded delicate bubbles. Certainly elegant. Very dry with a good fruit mineral acid balance but ultimately, sad to say, just not a very exciting bottle of bubbly. Certainly good, but in this price range there are so many options that can wow. The LP Rose NV does not wow. Bot duty free in Sao Paulo.

Salmon colored with a very fine fizz. Notes of strawberry and a touch of citrus, seemed to be both balanced and elegant, as well as having a bit of frothy yeastiness. Had a glass with sushi, another with Christmas cookies, and another just because I could -- and the wine handled each situation with grace.

Decent rose champagne, better than your average Veuve Cliquot, but there are better tasting champagnes available for less money.

Pale salmon; strawberry fruit on the nose. Follows through to palatte with light acidity and reasonable length but no greatdepth of flavour. Pleasant enough but not sufficient interest to entice one to the next glass. Enjoyed a glass or two but didn't bother to finish the bottle. Needless to say there are better rosés out there.

Thanksgiving Round I (TAC -- American Room): By the glass pour from a new bottle. Light salmon color with somewhat dissipated mousse. Bead was nice and tight but just seemed to lack vigor. Nose was pure and red fruit-driven, with red raspberry and just a little fresh plum. Background scents included a hint of dark flower and maybe a little earth. On the palate, in good balance with light berry tones and a pleasant touch of structural depth and woodsiness (not woodiness). Quite correct, but lacking any particular excitement. A basic NV made slightly more interesting by the hint of structure and berry from the bit of red grape extraction.

I bought this on sale about 4 years ago for $18 and took it to Otis' house last Friday to drink before the Kathryn Kennedy dinner. It normally sells for about $35-40. This was a very nice Champagne to sip on the croquet course. It is 100% Pinot Noir sourced from 10 different Grand Cru vineyards. Not overly fruity. Some yeasty notes. Seems to have held up very well. 90 points.

This is one of my personal favorites. The beautiful slightly pink tinge is great at sunset.
We had this wine with the HHI Gourmet Group. It is exquisite and still my favorite and Dales.

Wine-pages.com London Champagne Off-Line (Alba Restaurant, Whitecross Street): This and the Taittinger following were a virtually identical mid salmon colour, the L-P slightly paler. Lovely nose. Attractive on the palate and very light. In comparison with the Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, this is very simple and a bit coarse. Good (though I think it would rate Very Good in less illustrious company)

We ordered a few bottles of this during our vacation. This Rose had a relatively deep red color and quite a bit of red fruit on both the nose and palate. Clean and well-made. Very nice, though I slightly prefered the style of the N/V Billecart-Salmon Rose (see TN) we had at the same restaurant, as it was a little less fruit-driven and more complex with finer acidity.

An evening with Laurent-Perrier (Connaught Hotel, London): Apparently one of the best selling rosé champagnes in the world, this is a rosé de saignée from 100% pinot noir sourced from ten grands crus vineyards.
A very, very pale salmon colour. An interesting nose with plenty of earthy red fruit pinot noir character. Very fruity initially, then fills out to a fully dry wine with some ripe fruit showing through. Very well balanced and wonderfully elegant.

Bibendum Laurent Perrier Champagne tasting and dinner (Connaught Hotel, London): Another wine that was presumed to be very recent release, quite subdued on the night with muted fruit flavours. Lots of crisp acidity, a touch green and just a little harsh. Not what had been expected from the usually very expressive LP Rosé NV. In itself the wine was fine, mouthfeel good and a barely noticable hint of red fruits. Medium(-) length.
