95 points Bettanne & Desseauve Guide (2023).

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$100 list] A finely textured rosé Champagne, this wine is rich yet with a fine dry core. It is 100% Pinot Noir, structured with acidity as well as red fruits. Drink this fine wine now. Alcohol 12%. (Dec 2023)"

93 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2021 in France; 100% pinot noir from 10 crus, mostly in the Montagne de Reims, though this is not declared on the label, so as to uphold flexibility; this release from Tours-sur-Marne, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois, Verzy, Verzenay and Mailly-Champagne; 2012 base vintage with 'reserves' from 2014; 8-9g/L dosage; aged at least five years on lees). This wine has achieved that elusive ideal of volume and finesse; the world’s best-selling rosé champagne epitomises the ultra-restraint of rosé’s finest expressions. All the more remarkable for the challenging saignée method. And especially impressive for the 2012 base, holding its poise at almost a decade of age (it's been 2.5 years since I wrote that it should be enjoyed young!). Its hue has evolved to a full crimson, yet it still sings with all the personality of grand cru Montagne de Reims pinot noir in exuberant berry fruits of all kinds, blood orange, fresh tomato, savoury spice, even notes of orange bitters. Confident, fine tannin structure is well integrated with its juicy fruit and chalk minerality, with dosage well gauged. As idiosyncratic as ever, bursting with confident personality and impressive length, this is an unashamed saignée style to drink now, with the structural scaffolding and confidence to partner effortlessly with protein. Think jamón, or any form of pork, for that matter! (Edition VII; 2024)"

93 points/'Rosé Non-Vintage (Maison) Champagne of the Year 2022,' Tom Hewson (TimAtkin.com): "2014 base, with reserves back to 2012. The Pinot Noir for this cuvée comes from both sides of the Montagne de Reims. By cold macerating it for 35-72 hours, Laurent-Perrier create one of the most distinctive and successful NV rosés of the Maisons, buzzing with cherry and red apple before a surprisingly deft, elegant palate of creamy strawberry and pale almond pastry. It threads the needle with extraction, hitting a delicious sense of grip and juiciness but never harshness or over-intensity. A prominent, recognisable wine, but one that is well worth its reputation. (Dec 2022)"

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Laurent-Perrier “Cuvée Rosé” non-vintage Brut is crafted entirely from pinot noir, most of it hailing from vineyards in the fine crus of Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois and Tours-surMarne. The grapes are crushed and given two to three days’ worth of maceration time to give the wine its lovely, deep salmon color. It is aged five years sur lattes. The wine offers up a beautiful aromatic constellation of blood orange, rhubarb, rye bread, chalky minerality, a hint of clove, gentle smokiness, brown spices and a topnote of rose petals. On the palate the wine is crisp, fullbodied, focused and complex, with outstanding depth at the core, fine mineral undertow and grip, elegant mousse and a long, brisk and impeccably balanced finish. This is drinking splendidly today in its moderately vinous style, but has the ability to age long and gracefully and is truly superb non-vintage Brut Rosé! 2024-2050. (Mar/Apr 2024)"

93 points Falstaff Guide: "Medium salmon pink, subtle copper reflections, delicate, firm mousseux. Ripe red cherry fruit underlaid with lemon balm, subtle hints of wild berries, delicate notes of baked goods and orange confit, inviting bouquet. Juicy, elegant, fine minerality with a full-bodied texture, finesse-rich structure, red berries and good persistence, versatile, ripe plums on the finish. (10/6/23)"

92-93 points Essi Avellan, MW: "(100% Pinot Noir). Bright salmon in colour, with orange tones, this wine is produced by the maceration method using Pinot Noirs from 10 Montagne de Reims villages, including Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois and Tours-sur-Marne. The beautifully expressive nose oozes Pinot Noir's sweet and spicy strawberry and blood orange fruit. Laurent-Perrier truly does master the maceration method of making rosé, achieving an amazing textural silkiness and structural tension without ever showing too much tannin or bitterness. This is truly one of Champagne's most unique premium non-vintage rosés, and ageworthy, too. I love how, with time, it starts to show a wilder side of itself, with lovely dark, spicy tones and sous-bois undernotes. (Aug 2022)"
