A rich salmon color with an orange tinge, the NV Champagne Rosé is 55% Pinot Noir, 20% Meunier, and the rest Chardonnay. With this release, Armand de Brignac made a change to the blend, with 50% from 2018, 25% each from 2017 and 2012, and the addition of 15% Pinot Noir still wine. Opening in the glass, it’s floral in its aromatics, with a lifted perfume of wild strawberry, wet stone, and fresh flowers. It gains in intensity on the palate, with a darker profile noted by black cherry liqueur, a pillowy mousse, a long finish, and a well-balanced structure. Drink 2023-2033. - Audrey Frick

A mouthwatering rosé Champagne, with a lively bead, this offers savory notes of slivered almond and fleur de sel along with layers of ripe raspberry and black cherry fruit, star anise and orange peel flavors. Delivers a lasting, vibrant finish. Drink now through 2022. –AN

The Armand de Brignac NV Brut Rosé is an intense salmon colored blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 10% Chardonnay sourced in the Montage de Reims, Côte des Blancs and Valée de la Marne and comprises the vintages of 2009, 2010 and 2012. The bouquet is intensely fruity yet clear, fine and well-defined. Full-bodied, round, vinous and elegant on the palate, this cuvée reveals a grippy mineral freshness and lingering structure. Persistent finish. Powerful yet pure. The cooler the better. Tasted from magnum and lot L107D8 in April 2018. - Stephan Reinhardt
