Billiot Brut Rosé Champagne Grand Cru NV

95 points Wine & Spirits: "This is an exuberant rosé of pinot noir (including 20 percent chardonnay and 10 percent of the pinot vinified as a red wine). The pale copper-pink wine ferments in stainless steel and gains its substantial richness from Ambonnay fruit. The brisk chalk tension takes the red-currant flavors in a refreshing direction, a vinous Champagne with the kind of lush richness that would be delicious with ripe Camembert or other bloomy-rind cheese. (Dec 2021)"

90 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The non-vintage Brut Rosé bottling from Laetitia Billiot is crafted from a blend of eighty percent pinot noir and twenty percent chardonnay, with ten percent of the cuvée still red wine. It is from the base year of 2018 and includes reserve wines in the blend from both 2017 and 2016. The vins clairs are raised in stainless and do not undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine was given thirty-six months aging sur latte and disgorged in January of 2022, with a finishing dosage of nine grams per liter. The wine is a lovely salmon color and offers up a refined bouquet of blood orange, rhubarb, rye toast, chalky soil tones, brown spices and a topnote of dried rose petals. On the palate the wine is bright, zesty and full-bodied, with a good core, fine mineral undertow and cut, frothy mousse and a long, complex and still quite youthful finish. Good juice. 2022-2040. (Jul/Aug 2022)"

90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The NV Brut Rosé (80% Pinot Noir/20% Chardonnay) is bold, forward and perhaps a bit hearty in feel, but certainly enjoyable. It is a vinous Champagne for the dinner table. Bright red-toned fruit, chalk, mint and white pepper emerge with some coaxing. All things considered, this is nicely done. Dosage is 6-7 grams per liter. Disgorged: March 22, 2023. Drink: 2023-2029. (Nov 2023)"

90 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The NV Champagne Brut Rosé is 80% Pinot Noir (10% vin rouge from 2016) and the remainder Chardonnay. It is lifted with a perfume of strawberries and cream, peach rings, and fresh flowers, and the palate is medium-bodied and refreshing, with an energetic mousse and a clean, modest finish. More tangerine citrus and a bit of salinity appear on the finish. This is a lovely entry rosé to drink over the next 10 years. Drink: 2022-2042. (11/7/22)"
