94 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(2012 base vintage; disgorged Oct 2015; saignée of 100% skin-contact pinot noir; sourced from clay and silt soils with some marl; average vine age 25 years; no malolactic fermentation; 10g/L dosage). Renowned for his long-lived Cumières rouge Coteaux Champenois, it's no surprise that Geoffroy's Rosé de Saignée also improves with time. Now released with sufficient age for the vintage to be declared (on the back label) post-disgorgement, this is a style of medium, vibrant crimson salmon-hue and exuberant primary freshness of pink pepper, pomegranate, red cherry and tangy raspberry fruits. Beautifully ripe fruit expression is intricately supported and freshened by ripe, brightly poised malic acidity, fine, skilfully handled tannins, exactingly balanced dosage, and the salty chalk mineral expression of Cumières. The great 2012 season has given birth to one of Geoffroy's most enthralling Rosé de Saignées. (2018-2019)"

93 points James Suckling: "Such precise aromas of fresh strawberries, flinty stones and lightly toasted bread, leading to a palate that has impressive, vinous appeal and a supple, seamlessly fleshy, strawberry-flavored palate. Drink or hold. (9/2/19)"

92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Disgorged in December 2019, the latest release of Geoffroy's NV Brut Premier Cru Rosé de Saignée is derived from the 2015 vintage. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of peonies, mandarin orange and red berries, it's full-bodied, rich and vinous, with a fleshy core of fruit, ripe acids and a gently phenolic finish. This characterful wine will be at its best at table. Drink: 2020-2025. (Mar 2021)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "[$73 list] Steeped raspberry and peach fruit flavors are up front and aromatic in this wild salmon–hued rosé, accented by hints of dried herb, rose petal, orange rind and spice. Fresh and graceful, with a fine, satiny mousse. Disgorged March 2019. Drink now through 2023. (2019)"
