92 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2023 in Australia; 44-48% pinot noir, 25-29% chardonnay, 13-18% meunier; from 50-60 crus; 2019 base vintage; 45% reserves; aged at least 3 years on lees; Yellow Label with 13-15% red wine, including some red wine reserves aged for texture; disgorged 13 July 2022; 10g/L dosage). A bright salmon pink hue announces a rosé of personality and poise. As always, this is a profound lesson in the impact of red wine in transforming Yellow Label in colour, fruit profile and most of all in structure. It upholds its pink grapefruit freshness and deepens its red mood of strawberry, raspberry, red cherry and red apple, reverberating with the fruit depth and purity that set apart the 2019 season. Fine tannin structure melds well with balanced dosage and fine chalk mineral texture. Lees age unites with deep reserves to deliver complexity of brioche, spice and the beginnings of honey. A fantastic result for Didier Mariotti’s first blend. (Edition VII; 2024)"
91 points James Suckling: "Grapefruit color with aromas of cherries, strawberries, almonds, pastries and honey. Creamy and rounded, with a medium body and soft bubbles. All nicely integrated. Blend of majority pinot noir with chardonnay and meunier, with 12% red wine. 10g/L. Drink now. (1/11/23)"
