95/100 — Cameron Douglas MS · Non Vintage · Tasted: Oct 2023 · Drinking Window: Now–2029
“A deliciously enticing bouquet filled with scents elegance and promise, light-red berry fruits and a gentle spice overlaid with rose and mineral. The autolysis is expressive and precise adding complexity and power. Even more delicious on the palate with a fine even mousse adding its own force and mouthfeel. Flavours from the autolysis and fruit reveal a mix of baked goods, cherry and red apple. Excellent weight and richness with a lengthy complex finish. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029.”

This is a clean and precise rosé Champagne with aromas of bread dough, grapefruit and sliced apples. Dry, pure and elegant, with tight bubbles and a bright finish. 45% chardonnay, 31% meunier and 24% pinot noir, including pinot noir red wine from Mareuil. Based on 2021, with 56% reserve wine back to 2018. 4.9 g/L dosage. Drink now.
