Winemaker Notes
A hymn to the bright delicacy of Pinot Noir, the Premiere Cuvee Rosé is named on account of its composition of only the first pressing. The pink copper color with a hint of raspberry when young evolves to salmon while ageing. The fine bubbles are due to a strict selection of the best grapes, perfectly controlled temperature in the cellar and very long ageing. The initial aromas of redcurrant and red fruits evolve to morello cherry, wild strawberry and violet while breathing in the glass. A touch of lemon denotes the discrete presence of Chardonnay. With age, aromas tend towards dark fruits like dark cherry, fig and blackberry. Red fruit captured at their full freshness on the palate. The finish is bright and long.
The Rose Premiere Cuvee is a great match to fine Italian charcuterie, sushi, poultry or red fruit salad.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Based on the 2015 vintage and disgorged in October 2019 with around six grams per liter dosage, the NV Extra-Brut Rosé Première Cuvée is showing very nicely, opening in the glass with notes of red berries, tangerine, peonies, freshly baked bread and almond. Medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, it's an elegant, fine-boned rosé, with a pretty core of fruit, racy acids and a pinpoint mousse, concluding with a floral finish. Give it another year on cork to unwind.

The Somm Journal
Despite the pale orange hue, this is no shy wine: It’s bright yet graceful from stem to stern. Plenty of strawberry and red currant meet hints of cranberry, pink grapefruit, and sugared brioche on the nose, while more strawberry commingles with blood orange on the palate, whose fullness is balanced by clean acidity and mineral hints.

Pale salmon-pink colored Champagne with aromas of raspberries, candied apples, grenadine, croissants and lemon curd. Medium-bodied and creamy with fine bubbles and crisp acidity. Succulent, fruity and flavorful finish.

Wine Spectator
Fragrant notes of ripe yellow apple and oyster shell are an aromatic thread, layered with apricot, candied pink grapefruit zest and toast point flavors in this elegant rosé Champagne. A fine example of the aperitif style with its lacy texture and firm spine of racy acidity. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The NV Champagne Première Cuvée Rosé pours a pale salmon hue and is fresh with grapefruit, ripe peach, and wet stone. It is juicy and vibrant through the mid-palate, with full texture and supple mousse, and flush with golden fruits of apricot and pineapple. It is charming and approachable now and will continue to improve. Best after 2022. Rating: 92+
