We just tasted this one, VERY pretty, very elegant, a fresh and mineral rose that showed light red berry fruits and a core of chalky mineral. While we only have 6 bottles now but will have more in late Oct/early Nov.

93 points Wine Spectator: "A bright and mouthwatering rosé Champagne, with macerated raspberry and kirsch notes riding the raw silklike mousse. Creamy and harmonious, with violet, grated ginger, orange peel and blanched almond accents. Disgorged November 2021. Drink now. 95 cases imported. (11/30/22)"

93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "This is also really quite pretty, pure and elegant with its perfumed array of cool strawberry, cherry, currant, yeast and plenty of citrus elements. There is excellent punch and delineation to the moderately powerful medium weight flavors that are shaped by a medium-firm effervescence before terminating in a clean, yeasty and lemon peel-suffused finish. Moreover this is a very dry example relative to what is typical for the genre and I very much liked this overall plus it offers very good value. Drink: now+."
