Bollinger Rose Champagne

94 James Suckling Very attractive aromas of strawberry pie with the crust nicely crispy. Copper and iron too. Medium-bodied with real pinot noir character as well as salted butter, hints of barrel and a juicy finish. 64% barrel-fermented pinot noir (5% still red wine), 28% chardonnay and the rest pinot meunier. Rosé just keeps getting better.

94 Wine Spectator An enticing rosé Champagne, with a core of ripe and juicy raspberry, white peach and cherry, fragrant anise, cardamom and cumin, plus accents of slivered almond, candied ginger, blood orange peel and white blossoms. Mouthwatering and harmonious, with a fine, raw silk–like mousse and a long, long finish. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.

92 Jeb Dunnuck Based on the 2020 harvest, with only 5% red wine added, the NV Champagne Brut Rose pours a bright pink salmon hue and jumps from the glass with a perfume of crushed roses, cardamom, ripe raspberry, and toasted brioche. Full-bodied, it’s juicy on opening, filling the palate with refined red fruit and blood orange, and has a rounded mousse as well as a long finish. Perfect as an aperitif or to end the night, it also feels like it will have a good deal of life ahead.

92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The latest release of Bollinger's NV Brut Rosé is showing especially well, offering up complex aromas of sweet stone fruit, honeycomb, freshly baked bread and orange oil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pillowy and vinous palate. Layered and concentrated, with a pretty pinpoint mousse and ripe but racy acids, it concludes with a long, expansive finish.

92 Wine & Spirits Mostly red grapes (76 percent), this gains its color from five percent red wine added to the blend. The red fruit comes across in scents of sour cherries and in the depths and richness of the flavor It’s also there in the subtle radish-like edge to the grape-skin tannins that make this a wine that could stand with roast veal.
