"This is an exuberant rosé of pinot noir (including 20 percent chardonnay and 10 percent of the pinot vinified as a red wine). The pale copper-pink wine ferments in stainless steel and gains its substantial richness from Ambonnay fruit. The brisk chalk tension takes the red-currant flavors in a refreshing direction, a vinous Champagne with the kind of lush richness that would be delicious with ripe Camembert or other bloomy-rind cheese." 

Wine Advocate, 91 Points  

"The NV Brut Rose Grand Cru blossoms beautifully in the glass with layers of fruit that fill out in the glass. As always, Billiot’s Rose is a rich, broad-shouldered wine with plenty of intensity and vinous depth." 

Jeb Dunnuck, 90 Points 

"The NV Champagne Brut Rosé is 80% Pinot Noir (10% vin rouge from 2016) and the remainder Chardonnay. It is lifted with a perfume of strawberries and cream, peach rings, and fresh flowers, and the palate is medium-bodied and refreshing, with an energetic mousse and a clean, modest finish. More tangerine citrus and a bit of salinity appear on the finish. This is a lovely entry rosé to drink over the next 10 years. Best after 2022." 

Wine Spectator, 90 Points 

"Well-knit, with fresh acidity and a subtle tang of salinity married to flavors of wild strawberry, nectarine, chalk and pickled ginger set on a lacy mousse." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
