Roederer/Louis Brut Rosé Champagne 2015

94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2015 Brut Vintage Rosé is generous and demonstrative, bursting with aromas of peach, orange and pear mingled with hints of red berries, fresh bread and ginger. Full-bodied, layered and vinous, it's rich and enveloping, its textural attack segueing into an ample, fleshy core that's girdled by bright acids and enlivened by a pillowy mousse. Long and expansive, it's more generous and gourmand than its racier 2014 predecessor, but just as good. Drink: 2021-2031. (Sep 2021)"

94 points James Suckling: "This shows lots of cotton candy and peach, together with strawberries and cream. But not overpowering. Some cranberry, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fine bubbles and a lively finish. Dosage 8g/L. Drink now or hold. (7/11/22)"

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2015 vintage of Louis Roederer Rosé is an outstanding wine in the making. The refined and youthful bouquet wafts from the glass in a mix of strawberries, tangerine, a touch of blood orange, rye bread, chalky minerality, lovely spice tones and a nice touch of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and nascently complex, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent mineral drive, utterly refined mousse, bouncy acids and a long, seamlessly balanced and vibrant finish. This is approachable out of the blocks, but it is still a young wine and I would opt for tucking it away in the cellar for at least another five years before drinking it in earnest. 2026-2055+. (Sep/Oct 2021)"

93 points Tom Hewson (TimAtkin.com): "62% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay, made with Roederer's 'infusion' method. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon uses some cool, chalky Chardonnay in this to tame the ripeness of Cumieries Pinot. No surprise, then to find this is super refined for 2015, playing on pink grapefruit pith and grip on the close yet so airy through the middle with some hedgerow fruit (and a whiff of the hedgerow itself!), rosehip and pale berry character. (Dec 2022)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "Pure and pretty notes of wild strawberry and nectarine fruit are enriched by hints of marzipan, chalk and pickled ginger in this graceful rosé Champagne. Lithe and expressive, with a fine, lively mousse, this shows lovely balance and a creamy, mineral-laced finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2031. 1,054 cases imported. (11/15/21)"

92 points Wine & Spirits: "A short maceration with the grape skins adds color and vinous depths of flavor to this earthy wine. It opens to brisk and bold red-fruit flavors that one taster compared to a tibouren rosé from Bandol. Cellar this to bring up its complexities. (Dec 2021)"
