Wine & Spirits
A beautiful, transparent pink-gold rosé, this wine feels effortless. Five percent red wine grown in Verzenay and Aÿ gives the wine its color, and perks up the fresh flavors of raspberries, complete with their seeds. The texture may be the wine’s best aspect: It’s creamy and lithe, transforming Bollinger’s power into elegance.

Deep red-berry nose, plus some nectarine, spice and candied-orange notes. Powerful and fresh, the hint of tannin from the red-wine component of the blend neatly balanced by the creaminess. Excellent textural complexity, then a long, delicately spicy and mineral finish. Disgorged in June 2021. Drink now.

Sleek and elegant, this finely knit rosé Champagne offers flavors of ripe cherry, blood orange granita and slivered almond, with aromatic accents of graphite, star anise and verbena. Long and creamy on the vibrant finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. (AN, Web-2023)

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 flavors 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.

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 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 now or over the next 10-15 years.

The new release of Bolllinger non-vintage Rosé Brut is a beautiful example. The wine is a pretty salmon color and delivers a refined aromatic constellation of blood orange, strawberries, a touch of rhubarb, chalky soil tones, wheat bread, dried rose petals and a touch of upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is crisp, young and full-bodied, with a fine core and soil signature, refined mousse, bright acids and a long, well-balanced and complex finish. There is a nice touch of closing vinosity to the wine this year.

The latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Rosé is showing especially well, offering up 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. (WK)

Really complex nose. Oak in evidence but one forgives this for Bollinger! A delightfully complex wine for the table. Very long but not for those seeking maximum refreshment. 17.5/20 points (JR)

K&L Notes
This is spectacular rosé--perhaps the best non-vintage rosé that I have ever had, and a great argument for the blender's art. Concentrated yet completely effortless, this barrel-fermented gem has everything one could want from a rosé Champagne. The power is in the wine, but always takes a back seat to balance. (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer)
