Aubry Brut Rosé Champagne Premier Cru NV

94 points Wine & Spirits: "The Aubry brothers blended this entirely from the 2014 vintage with equal parts pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay (the latter barrel-fermented), along with small amounts of arbanne, petit meslier and fromenteau; the rose hue comes from the addition of five percent pinot noir vinified as a red wine. My first note after tasting it was, “How elegant is that?” And then, after mentioning roses, other panelists began to riff on flowers, from hibiscus to peonies. It’s a fragrant rosé, all about refinement, presenting its earthiness with delicacy and grace. (Dec 2020)"

93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The NV Brut Rosé is a standout. Rich and creamy in the glass, the Aubry NV Rosé has a bit more depth than usual. That's not a bad thing. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, mint, white pepper and a dash of citrus lend energy. But what I love most about the Rosé in this release is its volume. Disgorged: May, 2021. Drink: 2021-2026. (Nov 2021)"

92+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The latest release of Aubry's NV Brut Rose Premier Cru was only disgorged in July 2018, but it's already showing well, opening in the glass with scents of strawberries, red apples and potpourri. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with an impressively deep, layered core of nicely concentrated fruit, ripe but tangy acids, a youthfully frothy mousse and a long, intense finish. This is a powerful, serious rosé that will work well at table or as an aperitif, especially after another year or two on cork. Drink: 2020-2030. (Apr 2019)"

Peter Liem (ChampagneGuide.net): "Aubry’s non-vintage rosé also comes entirely from a single year, although this is not stated on the label. It’s a blended rosé, usually composed of about 60 percent chardonnay and 25 percent pinot noir, together with 15 percent of red wine made from old meunier vines in a parcel called Les Noues, in Jouy-lès-Reims."
