NV Jacques Selosse, Rose Brut NV 1x750ml

Vinous 97

I was blown away by the NV Brut Rose, not so much for its quality and personality, both of which I expected, but by its freshness, considering it was disgorged a few years ago. Bright citrus, floral and cranberry race across the palate in an airy, weightless Rose that delivers all the goods, and then some. It s a gorgeous wine to enjoy with canapes to kick off this remarkable dinner. The blend is almost all Chardonnay, with just a few drops of still Pinot that is purchased from Francis Egly. Disgorged: April 16, 2018. [Antonio Galloni, 08/06/2023]

Robert Parker 95

From a bottle disgorged in December 2018, Selosse’s NV Brut Rose is based on his V.O. blend, with the addition of Pinot Noir from his friend Francis Egly. Bursting with scents of dried fruits, white cherries, beeswax and spices, the wine is full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with Pinot Noir phenolics only amplifying the chalky, mineral signature that defines the V.O.a making for a remarkably vinous, gastronomic Champagne.
