"Pliant, bold and resonant, with striking depth and exceptional balance, Le Rosé is just stunning in this tasting. Bright red berry fruit, blood orange, mint and rosewater envelop the palate in a deep, resonant Champagne that delivers the goods. Big time. This release is based on 2015. Dosage is 4-5 grams per liter. Disgorged: January, 2021."

"A delicate rosé that's finely meshed and harmonious, marrying a subtle, chalky underpinning and sleek acidity with flavors of nectarine and baked strawberry fruit, showing hints of crystallized honey and chopped almond. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier."

"Though the bottling from the base year of 2016 is imminent in the market here in New York, I was fortunate to receive a sample of the 2015 base year of Alexandre Chartogne’s non-vintage Rosé, so I was able to see the wine with nearly a full year of additional bottle age. The wine is composed of a blend of sixty percent chardonnay and forty percent pinot noir, with eight percent of the pinot being still red wine. Sixty percent of the vins clairs are raised in barrel and the wine is given three years aging sur latte, prior to its disgorgement in December of 2019 and a finishing dosage of six grams per liter. The wine offers up a refined bouquet of white cherries, orange peel, a touch of rhubarb, a lovely base of soil tones, dried roses and a nice touch of gentle spice tones in the upper register. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and still nicely snappy, with a good core, fine soil signature, elegant mousse and a long, complex and well-balanced finish. This is starting to drink very well, but will continue to age gracefully. (Drink between 2020-2035)"

"Based on the 2018 vintage, Chartogne's latest NV Brut Rosé was disgorged in May 2021 with around six grams per liter dosage. Offering up aromas of pear, tangerine and plums, it's medium to full-bodied, seamless and fleshy, with a pillowy mousse and a generous core of fruit. It's one of the more immediate, front-loaded wines in the range."
