Popped and poured and consumed over two days; best on Day 2. 100% Pinot Meunier from Chaumuzy, the wine actually appears almost brassy in color. On Day 1, the wine was tightly wound; a ball of energy with mostly green apple notes, savory minerals and ripping acid. On Day 2 however, the wine had kept its bubbles well and evolved rather dramatically, rounding out a bit to reveal spiced apples, more red than green, with raspberries and minerals that danced across the palate. A massively crushable Champagne with a long finish. An outstanding NV and paired perfectly with the New Year and Mille Bournes. No disgorgement data that I can find on the label. — 3 years ago
There is just no holiday weekend or weekend that the Rosé Champagne is not coming out at the D&S lounge.
Really love the deeper, richer, riper fruits of the Ruinart & gentler chalkiness as a nice switch up from my addiction to Billecart-Salmon Rosé.
Happy Eve of the 4th of July. Cheers all!🥂 🇺🇸 💥 🎇 🧨 — 6 years ago

Beautiful rosé - light salmon color that starts with fresh acidity but finishes with a sight sweetness. Strawberry and watermelon throughout — 9 years ago
Nice white blend, not too dry and not too sweet. Refreshing for a summer glass. — 10 years ago
Terrifically complex rose. Beautiful salmon color, on the palate it was a white wine in the front of the mouth but finished like a red with high acid and some significant tannin. Thanks to @Jason Alaniz for bringing it by! — 10 years ago

13.5% ABV Salute to Lulu Peyraud of Domaine Tempier in France. Lulu’s father owned the vineyard , and she along with her husband took it over. Sadly we lost her in October 2020 at the age of 102 y/o. This is a blend of old vine Mataro and Grenache. Light salmon color, watermelon initially , later apple. Very nice! — 3 years ago
Refreshing as water. Salmon in color- classic Provence. Grapefruit and apple notes. Slight minerality. Smooth finish. Great grocery store option. In a blind tasting I would never guess this was a celeb wine — 5 years ago
Floral, slightly green color, aromatic, balanced acidity, green apple, citrus, nice finish... just beautiful. It reminds me of a New Zealand Sav Blanc. — 8 years ago

Smells like a sauv blank but classic off-dry Riesling on palate. Hammer don't hurt 'em — 10 years ago
Surprisingly light. It starts with a floral overlay - it's there then dissipates into a light finish and then gone. Any easy drink — 11 years ago
I tend to be rather picky about rosé, but I always love those from the Tavel area. This one is consistently satisfying. Glorious salmon-pink color and fresh, juicy flavors of strawberry and watermelon. Great with our Niçoise salad! 60% Grenache, 13% Clairette, 13% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, 3% Mourvèdre, 1% Bourboulenc. 5/15/22. — 3 years ago
This incredible sparkling wine is unbelievable! I visited this wonderful vineyard in 2013. The hue of rose’ is almost pale salmon. It’s medium to full body flavor is off the charts delicious. A touch of mineral and fabulous fruit. At the mid palate there is a heartiness I can’t quite figure out. This can rival any and every pink and brut champagne in the world. It’s that great!!! — 5 years ago
Beautiful salmon shade in the glass with a wide brim. Typical notes of strawberries, rose petals, orange peel, and apricots. Pinot Rosé is not my favorite type, it just isn’t. But this absolutely works. The creaminess and elegance that the Flowers team has put together something special here. Medium body, with medium acidity and crisp fruit. On the palate, there’s white flowers, a ton of citrus fruits, lemon zest, and even a little earthiness to round things off. A beautiful New World Rosé. — 7 years ago

1985 rose vintage Dom Ruinart. Deep salmon, orange hue. Ripe apricot and butterscotch. 10g dosage. On palate, rich and porcini and truffle. Meaty and leather. Acidity is integrated. Soy sauce and apricot. Good length. Prefer the '88. But great wine. — 10 years ago
Very yummy but only good with something like salmon. Very acidic. Smelled like pine nuts. — 11 years ago
