Chuck Hayward, JJ Buckley, November 2011

50% chardonnay, 30% pinot noir and 20% pinot meunier with a small amount of still pinot noir. Salmon in color, the bouquet highlights moderately intense aromas of dried berry mingling with hints of fruit cocktail syrup. The round, rich and flavorful midpalate is of medium-plus weight that continues towards the back where the soft finish fades a touch too quickly. The backpalate reveals concentrated flavors of soft berry and cherry that form the foundation of the understated finish. An elegant interpretation of rosé here.

The NV Brut Rose is a pretty, gracious wine. Freshly cut roses, red berries and spices take shape nicely in the glass as the wine shows off its understated, timeless personality. Billecart-Salmon's NV Brut Rose is a reliably tasty wine. This is Lot L26712406690A. Disgorged September 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. -Antonio Galloni

($75; disgorged June 30, 2010): Light orange. Tangerine, pear and flowers on the nose, which is complicated by a note of fennel. Broad and sappy but dry, with lively orange and strawberry flavors and a subtle note of spice cake. Weightier on the finish, which features an exotic note of spicy herbs. This Champagne's delicate touch will make it work well with simple seafood dishes or even sashimi. -JR

A dry rosé, freshly tasting of red currant fruits, laced with beautifully refreshing acidity. The wine has some weight, but it has more of an elegant, dancing lightness. R.V.

Bright and elegant, this offers appealing flavors of ripe black cherry, raspberry and orange peel that show hints of toasted raisin bread, anise and sweet smoke. Offers a beautiful texture, with a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2015. -AN
