With just the right amount of curvature-to-frame-to speed ratio on the scaffolding to best cradle the delicate strawberry and orange spray notes, this Dom settles into a perfectly seamless glide…

Ultramarine Sparkling Rosé Heintz Vineyard

Sonoma County · Sonoma Coast

Hibiscus, rhubarb, blood orange, and Aperol notes create a unique framework for the supplementary flavors of freshly rinsed raspberries, watermelon, lemon pith, and wet limestone. At first glance, it…

Jerome Blin Champagne La Pluchotte Extra Brut Rosé

France · Champagne

This continues to be a go-to-all-day-long Rosé for me. Crisp strawberry, lemon juice, and orange rind/spray play tetherball with saline and travertine notes to make for an airy and spritely Rosé.…

Jean Vesselle Champagne Brut Oil de Perdrix

This was a decent little number (from a split), with orange rind and lemon-strawberry water notes skipping along the palate with a dry and slightly steely entry. Stays superficial through the…

Billecart-Salmon Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon

France · Champagne

This bottle is a bit more spun-up than the one I had back in July. The lemon pith is more prominent, blocking some of the strawberry and sweet orange peel notes trying to jockey position. This is a…

Billecart-Salmon Champagne Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon

Lovely tension and acid with youthful nervy energy, this is a Rosé Champagne with bouncy personality and all sorts of zippy zing. I found a great deal of pleasure with this bubbly. Orange peel, lemon…

Cruse Wine Company Tradition Rosé

Bubbles, bubbles, and more bubbles stormed the palate on initial entry to the point where I had to let this hang out in the glass for a few minutes before I dared stick my face back in to have…

Jerome Blin Champagne La Pluchotte Extra Brut Rosé

France · Champagne

One of the best Rose Champagnes I've had in a long time...perhaps ever. Perfectly balanced flavors and just the faintest kiss of dry sweetness to keep it from being too tart or arid. Wild…

Christophe Mignon Champagne Brut Rosé Pur Meunier

France · Champagne

A fleshy and fuller-bodied Rose (which I appreciated for its heft and push), with healthy dollops of strawberry, ripe red raspberry, citrus rind, and subtle flint. A little sweeter and rounder on the…

Salmon Champagne Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut

Previous notes apply, though the fruit seems to have backed-off a bit. A little lighter and drier than I recall. Served in a BDX glass, which helped fan out the flavors and broaden the spectrum…
