Drappier Brut Rosé Champagne de Saignée NV

94 points Tim Hall (Decanter): "Both delicious and one of this region’s very best rosés. There’s mouthwatering crushed raspberry notes, a hint of cherry, and a fine texture which avoids the too-tannic cut of some saignées. But the clincher is the faint spicy, creamy hint achieved by a tiny influence of oak. Impressive and satisfying. 100% Pinot Noir. Stainless steel. 5% made in large oak. Dosage: 6g/L. Drinking Window: 2022-2025. (Jan 2022)"

93+ points Falstaff Guide: "Strong salmon pink, copper coloured reflexes, very lively mousse. Fresh red forest berries, a hint of redcurrant, delicate yellow plum fruit, mineral-smoky background. Juicy, elegant, ripe cherry fruit, fine acidity, pleasant, well-judged fruit sweetness on the finish, a charming style with good length. (9/30/22)"

92 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2022 in Australia; 100% pinot noir; disgorged October 2020; 6g/L dosage; cork). Drappier' s Aube pinot noir and its attentiveness in maceration make saignée particularly well suited here. A medium to full crimson hue is backed by layers of strawberries, raspberries and red cherries. The soft, creamy feel of Aube pinot is well melded with low dosage and perfectly gauged phenolic bite. The result is food friendly and ready. (Edition VII; 2024)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$72 list] A high-toned, racy rosé Champagne, with floral and herb aromas wafting through flavors of macerated raspberry, cherry and Marcona almond. Deeply hued and lacy in texture, with a lingering finish. Drink now through 2026. 500 cases imported. (12/15/23)"
