92 points Wine Spectator: "[$54 list] A lovely skein of fragrant spice winds through flavors of nectarine and wild strawberry in this appealing rosé Champagne, which is bright and lightly mouthwatering, with a chalky underpinning and a fine bead. Hard to stop sipping. Disgorged July 2019. Drink now through 2023. (11/30/20)"
91 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Disgorged in July 2019, the latest release of Gaston Chiquet's NV Brut Rosé Premier Cru is showing very well, bursting with aromas of fresh peach, red berries, mint, green apples, rhubarb and pastry cream. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, crisp and fleshy, with a charming core of fruit, racy acids and a lingering, flavorful finish. This is an elegant, inviting Rosé based on Pinot Meunier. Drink: 2019-2029. (Apr 2020)"
90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$54 list] The NV Brut Rosé is a nervy, taut wine, especially within the context of the other Champagnes in the range. Bright cranberry and floral notes give the Rosé its racy personality. The light, gracious style makes for more of an aperitif-style Rosé, although there is good energy as well. Disgorged: July, 2019. Drink: 2020-2026. (Nov 2020)"
90 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "I did not get a chance to taste the Maison Chiquet non-vintage Brut Rosé last year, so I was very happy to see it arrive as part of my sample parcel this fall. The wine is from the base year of 20a1 and has a cépages this go-round of fifty-two percent pinot meunier and twenty-four percent each of pinot noir and chardonnay. Fully eighteen percent of the cuvée is still red wine, hailing from the 2009 vintage and the blend was aged three years sur latte prior to disgorgement. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a mix of tart orange, rhubarb, chalky soil, gentle spice tones and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and nicely balanced, with a good core, frothy mousse and good backend mineral drive on the long and still fairly youthful finish. Good juice that will be even better with a bit of bottle age."
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$54 list] This soft, warm rosé has plenty of Pinot Noir in the blend to give it weight. Raspberry and red plum notes accompany touches of tannin and minerality. The acidity is infectious, making this a great match for food. Alcohol 12.5%. (Dec 2012)"
