93 points Wine Spectator: "[$105 list] Sleek and minerally, this is satiny on the palate, with racy drive to the flavors of macerated raspberry, pomegranate puree, almond financier and pickled ginger. A zesty hint of blood orange granita lingers on the finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2029. (11/30/24)"
93 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Medium salmon pink, golden reflections, fine mousse. A hint of ripe heart cherry, delicate hints of red forest berry confit, candied orange zest. Medium complexity, fine fruit sweetness, elegant, harmonious, shows good freshness, mineral in the aftertaste, lingers well, a multi-faceted companion at the table. (11/26/21)"
92 points Amy Wislocki (Decanter): "A blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, and featuring around 25% reserve wines, this is 100% premier cru fruit from the Montagne des Reims and Côte des Blancs. Almost a third of the Pinot Noir was vinified as a still wine. A deep coral colour, this is fresh and youthful, with rounded wild red berry fruit, and hint of rose. With some time in the glass, it develops deeper, complex, more exotic notes, leading to a long and lively finish. Dosage: 8g/L. Drinking Window: 2021-2026. (Jan 2021)"
92 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "An enticing properly dry rosé with a slew of red berry aromas, including wild strawberries, but behind this is the structure of a serious chardonnay from the chalky soils of this region and it is the chalky texture that anchors this on the long finish. Drink now. (8/7/23)"
92 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "This particular bottle of Dom Riunart Brut Rosé had been in my cellar for four years. It remains remarkably fresh and youthful on both the nose and palate, with the bouquet wafting from the glass in a complex blend of blood orange, rhubarb, citrus zest, lovely minerality, rye bread, cloves and a topnote of sumac. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a lovely core, fine mineral undertow, zesty acids, elegant mousse and a long, beautifully balanced finish. This has blossomed marvelously since it was first released and this really seems to be in its absolute apogee right now, albeit, still with plenty of life ahead of it. 2022-2035. (May/Jun 2022)"
Producer notes: "Ruinart Rosé is a harmonious champagne that balances the aromatic freshness of Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims chardonnay (45%) with the fruitiness of Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne pinot noir (43% vinified as white and 12% vinified as red). A blend of 30–40 crus including 20–30% reserve wine kept from a range of vintages. Aged in cellars for 2–3 years. Dosage: 8 g/L. Alcohol 12.5%. Color: Ruinart Rosé reveals coral and rosewood hues. Nose: First impressions reveal intense aromas of tropical fruit such as pomegranate, lychee and guava, complemented by floral essences of damask rose and freshly picked red berries. Secondary aromas include hints of warm spices such as tonka bean and nutmeg. Palate: This cuvée’s fresh character is combined with a refined structure and delicate roundness. The elegant finish provides notes of peppermint and pink grapefruit."
