What a really nice Rosé Champange from Drappier and an extraordinary value at Costco at $39.99. I’m not giving up my Billecart Salmon Rosé but, this is pretty close to Ruinart. At this price point, it’s being well added to rotation.
The nose reveals, ripe; black cherries, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, watermelon and orange rind citrus. Fruit blossoms, pink rose petals, nice, soft chalkiness, sea spray, sea shells, volcanic minerals and a touch of white spice.
The palate is fresh & lively. Nice micro bubbles. It’s thick and rich. The fruits are ripe and deeply concentrated. Ripe; black cherries, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, watermelon, orange rind citrus, nice, soft chalkiness, sea spray, sea shells, strong presence of gritty volcanic minerals that press deeply into the palate, a fair amount of dark spice on the palate with fruit blossoms, pink & red rose petals. The acidity is really good...lively. The long, rich, beautiful, well balanced finish persists several minutes.

As with its white counter part, the NV Brut Rosé is ever so gorgeous, generous in a true house style but with plenty of structure, fully balanced, and a deep complexity. A lower portion of reserves than the NV Brut brings a more primary fruit profile to the wine, yet, both the secondary and tertiary aromas are well defined. — 8 years ago
The largest Champagne house in France, founded in 1743 by Claude Moët. A blend of three grapes, predominately Pinot Noir. Deep Salmon red with red fruit aromas. On the palate strawberry and raspberry flavors, full-bodied, lively acidity, lingering ending with mineral tones — 9 years ago

A dangerously tasty Brut Rosé, the Pinot fruit sings! This is what summer will taste like at our house this year, and likely many years into the future. The Pinot and Chardonnay are perfectly matched, slightly tart, even a light saline note on the finish.

A good rose. Nice house style of Bollinger. Felt the mousse left quite quickly but other areas were strong including the clear bright fruit. — 9 years ago
