Champagne Bollinger, Rosé, Brut

Pretty notes of strawberry and cherry are trimmed in yeast, quinine and citrusy nuances, where the latter is picked up by the delicious and vibrant middle-weight flavours where the supporting mousse is dense and moderately fine while the finish is clean, dry and complex. For my taste, this is drinking perfectly now though it could easily be held if desired.Drink nowallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (January 2022)

The NV Champagne Brut Rosé has a pale pink hue and lifts with a soft bouquet of red raspberry, apricot, bread dough, blood orange, and delicate smoke. The palate is approachable, with a well-tailored structure, pleasant bitter citrus notes of orange and grapefruit, and a floral element through the finish. It is well-balanced and versatile for pairing at the table.Drink 2022 - 2037jeb_dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com (July 2022)

Deep red-berry nose, plus some nectarine, spice and candied-orange notes. Powerful and fresh, the creaminess neatly balances the hint of tannin from the red-wine component of the blend—excellent textural complexity, then a long, delicately spicy and mineral finish.Disgorged in June 2021Drink nowjames_suckling, jamessuckling_com (July 2022)

The latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Rosé is also showing well, revealing scents of yellow orchard fruit, candied orange peel, pear, dried white flowers and spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with good depth at the core, a youthfully frothy mousse and bright balancing acids, concluding with a dry, chalky finish. The Rosé is based on the Special Cuvée blend, with the addition of red wine from Bollinger's vineyards in Verzenay and their famous monopole La Côte aux Enfants. William Kelley - 30/04/2019

The latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Rosé shows exceptionally well, offering complex aromas of sweet stone fruit, honeycomb, freshly baked bread and orange oil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pillowy and vinous palate. Layered and concentrated, with a pretty pinpoint mousse and ripe but racy acids, it concludes with a long, expansive finish.Drink 2021 - 2035William Kelley, Wine Advocate (August 2022)

Very pale greyish pink. Reasonable interest and development. Soft and relatively low acid without being sweet. A little astringent but determinedly dry. jancis_robinson_mw MW - JancisRobinson.com - 4 Dec 2012

62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay, 14% Pinot Meunier. Winemaker: Gilles Descôtes. RS 7–8 g/l.Pale to mid salmon. Light Pinot perfume. Well-managed mousse is just the right side of not-too-aggressive. Good balance of fruit and a dry finish. Serious rosé champagne, but definitely not hard work to drink now.Drink 2022 - 2025jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (May 2022)
