Gimonnet Brut Rosé de Blancs Champagne 1er cru NV

92 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A medium salmon color, the NV Champagne Rosé De Blancs Brut is based on the 2016 vintage and is almost entirely Chardonnay, with 8% red wine of Pinot Noir added from the Grand Cru village of Bouzy. The wine opens to a perfume of cantaloupe, honeysuckle, pastry dough, and grapefruit zest, and it’s chalky in its texture through the palate, with an ease and approachability that are quite charming while feeling fully dry. This is a very pretty wine to enjoy over the next 6-8 years, although I like it where it is now. Disgorged February 2023, 5 grams per liter dosage. Drink: 2023-2031. (11/17/23)"

92 points James Suckling: "A pale blush-colored Champagne that has notes of grapefruit, strawberry, biscuit and chalk. It’s elegant and fragrant, with delicate red-fruit undertones. Silky bubbles. 93% chardonnay and 7% pinot noir. Disgorged in 2023. Dosage 5.5g/L. Drink now. (8/6/24)"

91 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2023 in France; 93% chardonnay (Gastronome 2020), 7% Bouzy red wine; 2020 base vintage with 10% 2019 reserves; 42% Chouilly, 15% Cramant, 10% Oger, 10% Vertus, 16% Cuis; aged 18 months on lees; 5g/L dosage). There is a bright freshness here that signs Gimonnet, wonderfully unified with the succulent red cherry and strawberry notes of Bouzy pinot noir. A beautifully refined rosé of pretty, bright, pale salmon hue, driven by a core of pronounced, fine, saline chalk mineral texture that holds even flow and poise.(Edition VII; 2024)"
