In the glass this very unusual rosé champagne looks like a pale-colored pinot noir red, then comes the intensely flinty nose. However, there's also plenty of raspberry fruit. Structured, dry and powerful on the palate with a bright mineral acidity and emphatic mousse that make this super-clean at the finish. 100% pinot noir from Mareuil-sur-Ay that is a blend of 80% 2020 vintage and 20% 2019 vintage. The base wine was matured in oak casks. Disgorged in early 2023 with just 4 g/l of dosage. Drink or hold. - Stuart Pigott

Expressive aromas and flavors of Maraschino cherry, violet, spiced orange and chopped almond ride the fine, silky mousse in this vinous version. Backed by a well-knit spine of acidity, it's fresh and balanced, with a lingering finish. Distinctive. Disgorged spring 2019. Drink now through 2025. – AN

The NV Brut Rosé is a pure Pinot Noir picked in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and vinified in oak as pink wine after a short maceration, 80% is from the 2018 vintage, 20% from 2017, also aged in oak. The deep pink color leads onto fresh raspberry aromas followed by juicy cherry. This is energetic and vibrant, with rounded body, generous fruit, strawberry and cream ripeness and a certain mellow richness. The frothy mousse is playful and soft, only adding to that sense of roundness. Underneath, however, there is poise and depth. Ebullient on the surface, classy deeper down. Dosage is 5gr/L. Disgorged: fourth trimester of 2020, Lot R204. - Anne Krebiehl MW

Composed entirely of fruit from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ’s south-facing lower slope and vinified in oak, Pouillon’s latest NV Brut Premier Cru Rosé is based on the 2022 vintage and supplemented by 20% reserve wines from 2021—incorporating the more phenolic fractions. Its delicate hue is derived from an 18-hour maceration with the skins. Aromatically, it delivers sweet wild berries, spices and orange with a faint hint of iris. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, flavorful and gastronomic, with succulent yet vibrant acidity, a pinpoint mousse and a long, perfumed finish enriched by bitter phenolics. - Kristaps Karklins
