Lanson rose label édition limitée la vie en rose: WS 92 - Beautiful texture. It's difficult to pinpoint the individual flavors, so well is this put together, but fresh berries and graphite come to mind, along with flowers and citrus. Very complex, with a long, lingering aftertaste.
Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Rose: WS 92 - A distinctive rosé Champagne that smells like potpourri or Christmas punch with its cinnamon and clove accents. There's depth and intensity to the berry and whole-grain bread notes, matched to a raw silk texture and vibrant structure. Excellent length.
Larmandier-Bernier Rose de Saignee Premier Cru Extra Brut: WS 91 - A deeply hued rosé, dry and spicy, with a subtle weave of black cherry, currant, biscuit and grapefruit zest flavors, backed by firm, integrated acidity and a smoky mineral thread that lingers on the finish.
Jacques Selosse Brut Rose: RP 96 - An utterly electrifying wine, the NV Brut Rose is simply drop dead gorgeous. The style is all about energy, delineation and minerality. The balance and overall sense of harmony are both dazzling.
