95 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2024 in Australia; 2018 base vintage of equal thirds of chardonnay, pinot nor and meunier; 20% young reserves of 50% chardonnay and 50% pinot noir; 5% red wine from Les Riceys; vinified in stainless-steel vats, cru by cru; 60 crus; technological cork). The pretty and fruity vibe of 2018 is beautifully suited to the purity of Charles Rosé and the focus of this blend more on its base vintage than the reliance of Brut Reserve on reserve wines. Fresh strawberries and red cherries are accented with cranberries and billowing layers of crème brûlée and crème pâtissière. It unites fine chalk minerality with perfectly balanced dosage and intricately integrated acidity. Another great in the lineage of Charles Rosé. (Edition VII; 2024)"
96 points James Suckling: "Really perfumed with flowers and light strawberry jam as well as copper and iron. Medium-bodied, this has ultrafine bubbles, lovely fruit and hints of lemon rind. 40% pinot noir, 35% chardonnay and 25% pinot meunier. 5% of the pinot noir is sourced from Les Riceys. Dosage 8 g/L. Drink or hold. (7/15/25)"
95 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2022).
94 points Falstaff: "Bright salmon pink with orange reflections. An intense bouquet of cherry jam, wild strawberries, some red vineyard peach and spiced cinnamon and white pepper. Complex elegance abounds on the palate with a fine mousse, straightforward acidity and a creamy, refreshing mouthfeel. There's some pink cookie and a mineral edge, with a finely tart red-fruited finish. (10/4/24)"
93 points Tom Hewson (TimAtkin.com): "45% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier with 30% reserve wines. The 2014 base Rosé Reserve is in a striking place, just emerging now into a stage where the red fruits are softening, quietening into some dried strawberry and warm peach, spiked with delicious touches of anise and orange peel. The palate is calming, but still full of freshness and beautifully integrated, never dominated by the 7-8% red wine addition. N.B. – the 2018 base is currently being distributed as of winter 2022, likely to have a much more youthful character but not yet tasted. In any case, the 2014 base is a fine argument for a little patience. (Dec 2022)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "[$110 list] An elegant version, with the fine, airy mousse tempering the impact of the chiseled acidity and together creating a fine frame for notes of roasted pistachio, baked yellow peach and candied pink grapefruit peel. Everything is underscored by a streak of salinity that pushes through on the finish, joining accents of white blossoms, ground ginger and anise. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. Drink now through 2029. 675 cases imported. (11/30/24)"
