"An amazing 2008 rosé Champagne that has all the structure and aromatic complexity - sushi ginger, oolong tea and caramelized mandarin orange - we associate with this vintage, but also has more charm than most. On the palate, this has stunning concentration, yet is diamond bright. The interplay of creaminess, fine tannins and mineral acidity builds and builds at the breathtaking finish. The color comes from about 7% pinot noir red wine, partly from the little-known Les Riceys in the far south of Champagne. Drink or hold." -James Suckling, 98JS
"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. (Drink between 2022-2035)". -John Gilman, 92JG
"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. (Drink between 2021-2026)". -Decanter, 92DE
