Vilmart Brut Rosé Champagne Cuvée Rubis NV

94 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2021 in France; 90% pinot noir, 10% chardonnay, around 15% pinot noir red wine; 2017 base vintage; 2016 and 2015 reserves; fermented and aged 10 months in large oak foudres; red wines aged in 600-litre demi-muids; no malolactic fermentation; 9g/L dosage; disgorged October 2020). This is a powerful rosé by Rubis standard, boasting a full crimson hue and deep red fruit complexity. Exuberant, tangy red berry fruits are accented with tamarillo and spice, even notes of Campari and orange bitters. Firm, fine tannin structure unites with chalk minerality and tense yet ripe malic acidity. A full-throttle rosé of flamboyant, party-ready energy. (Edition VII; 2024)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "[$99 list] Delivers chiseled acidity that's deftly integrated with a fine, raw silk–like texture and tightly meshed flavors of raspberry and white cherry fruit, raw almond, pink grapefruit peel and fragrant spices. Reveals a minerally underpinning of smoke, saline and oyster shell accents, which gain momentum on the racy finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. (12/15/23)"

90 points Antonio Gallloni (Vinous):"The NV Brut Cuvée Rubis is a delight. Brisk and vibrant in the glass, the pale-colored Cuvée Rubis is a fine choice for drinking as an apéritif or with lighter dishes. Cranberry, orange peel, crushed rocks and mint give this airy Rosé tons of complexity. Brisk acids pull it all together on the finish. This release consists of 90% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, with 15% still Pinot Noir in the mix. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged: July 2023. (Mar 2024)"
