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)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$60 list] A harmonious rosé Champagne, with a crepe de chine texture to the mousse and juicy acidity, this offers a pleasing range of ripe cherry and raspberry, blood orange granita, oyster shell and smoke notes, with a thread of fragrant spices winding through the finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged September 2024. Drink now through 2030. (12/15/25)"

92 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The NV Champagne Grand Cru Ambonnay Brut Rosé pours a medium pink hue with a tinge of bright orange. It boasts a potent and expressive nose on opening, jumping from the glass with savory notes of licorice, fresh cherries, and orange peel, with floral and spiced layers emerging as it gains complexity with air. Medium-bodied, but with a good sense of volume on the palate, it's ripe and inviting, with notes of black and red fruits filling the palate with a supple richness of texture. Black cherry fruit lingers on the finish, accompanied by hints of violets. There's quite a bit going on here, and it can stand up to richer foods, while maintaining elegance from its assemblage without feeling overly fleshy or structured. Drink 2025-2040. This release is crafted from the 2022 vintage with 30% reserves from 2019 and 2020. Composed of 80% Pinot Noir (9% of which is red wine that was aged in barrel and does seem to impart its character into the resulting wine, adding a good deal of aromatic depth) and 20% Chardonnay, it was disgorged February 2025 with 7 grams per liter dosage. Drink: 2025-2040. (12/15/25)"

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 is a very pretty wine from Billiot. Cranberry, orange peel, mint, spice and white pepper are all finely sculpted. The Rosé is distinguished by its persistence and impeccable overall balance. It’s a charmer. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: May 6, 2024. Drink: 2024-2029. (Dec 2024)"
