92 points Wine Spectator: "Mouthwatering and harmonious, this is lightly chalky in texture, with a zesty layer of pink grapefruit peel, ground ginger and spicy mineral underscoring the white peach and blanched almond flavors. Offers a plush, lingering finish. Disgorged December 2018. Drink now through 2023. 700 cases imported. (12/15/19)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$73 list] The NV Brut Grand Rosé is fabulous. Bright and punchy, the Rosé fleshes out beautifully in the mid-palate and into the finish as the Pinot gains volume. The Grand Rosé has enough charm to drink well as an aperitif, but there is serious depth here too. Cranberry, orange peel, dried rose petal and a hint of cinnamon develop over time. The Grand Rosé is simply impeccable from start to finish. More importantly, it is absolutely delicious. Disgorged: December, 2019. Drink: 2020-2028. (Nov 2020)"
91 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Oeil de perdrix color. A cool nose is fruity but not sweet with its array of strawberry, raspberry and whiffs of cherry and yeast. There is good effervescence to the delicious and nicely complex flavors that terminate in an attractively dry, clean and sneaky long finish despite the presence of a touch of youthful austerity. This is really quite a nice rosé and in much the same vein as the Réserve it's not refined but there is plenty of character. Drink: now+. (Oct 2019)"
91 points Wine & Spirits: "This wine is 80 percent pinot noir, including 12 percent Bouzy Rouge for color; the balance is chardonnay. The current release, based on the 2014 vintage, feels brisk, bright and sunny, with the sweet-savory balance of Red Zinger tea. The red fruit lasts, suggesting it’s best enjoyed with dinner, especially if there’s Peking duck on the menu. Disgorged 12/18. (Dec 2019)"
