  Beautiful salmon color that is slightly cloudy. Beautifully mature nose displaying concentrated dry red/pink fruit, raspberry and strawberry jam, dry yellow peach, sous bois, brioche, cinnamon, copper, cep and limestone. Excellent concentration, finely layered sweet red fruit, still showing generous fine mousse, bright acidity and strong limestone mineral, and a long subtle but concentrated red fruit driven finish with mushroom and rose at the end. The expression is similar to the 88 Cristal rose.

  This bottle was particularly youthful which took time to open up in the glass. Generally consistent with my previous note but this bottle showed less intensity.

  Pink fruit, rose petal, bread crumbs, and peach on the nose. Ripe and intense with fine bubbles. An amazing aged rose.

  Direct release bottles. Always have great experience with this champagne! Most important there is still fine bubbles! Berries nose and strawberries fruits. The palate has the amazing red fruits that comes from the Pinot wine which is fully integrated with the vintage juice.
  Normally I found vintage rose too expensive that I only prefer the normal cuvée because by adding the still red wine only they double the price! Another problem is that the still red never fully integrate ( takes a long time) and always disjointed. When the vintage red wine is good the champagne cuvée may not be good vintage. To fully compromise both vintage of red and champagne needs to be good!
