Andre Clouet Grand Cru Brut Rosé, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $54.50, that’s $51.78 at 5% off and $49.05 at 10% off, 35 bottles in stock now
William Kelley-Wine Advocate 90 points “The latest release of Clouet’s deeply colored NV Brut Rosé No 3 Grand Cru is showing well, opening in the glass with notes of blood orange, red berries, ripe apples and oatmeal. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, broad and vinous, with ripe acids, a frothy mousse and a moderately intense finish. This is an attractive, gastronomic rosé that hails exclusively from Bouzy.” [Reviewed April 2019]

R.H. Coutier Grand Cru Brut Rosé, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $54.50, that’s $51.78 at 5% off and $49.05 at 10% off, 7 bottles in stock now
Antonio Galloni-Vinous 90 points “The NV Brut Rosé Grand Cru is super-expressive from the first taste. Dried rose petals, mint, orange peel, jasmine and bright saline notes abound. This mid-weight nervy rose has a ton to offer. There’s plenty of depth, but it is expressed in an understated way. This is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from Ambonnay.”

Benoit Dehu ‘Initiation’ Rosé Brut Nature, Champagne NV (2021) 750ml Displayed Price: $99, that’s $94.05 at 5% off and $89.10 at 10% off, 9 bottles in stock now
Antonio Galloni-Vinous 91 points “The (2021) Extra Brut Rosé Cuvée Initiation is superb. Here, the addition of 7% still red Pinot fills out the mid-palate and gives the wine some of the textural presence that is missing in the Blanc de Blancs bottling. Chalk, cranberry, mint and white pepper build into the tense, sinewy finish. Disgorged: January 25, 2024.”
Delamotte Brut Rosé, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $119, that’s $113.05 at 5% off and $107.10 at 10% off, 6 bottles in stock now
Audrey Frick-Jeb Dunnuck 94 points “[Reviewed in 2023] The NV Champagne Rosé is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir, with the base of 2019, and 15% still red wine. It pours a salmon/orange-tinged hue and opens in the glass to fresh, floral, pretty aromas of nectarine, salted orange, fresh rose petal, and curry spice. Medium-bodied, it has a wonderful chalky and pithy texture, with a pinpoint mousse that’s almost an afterthought. Ripe with fruit but well-balanced and long, with mouthwatering acidity, its spicier notes (cardamom, perhaps?) start to reveal themselves as it opens, and the wine lasts long on the palate. It is quite distinctive. Drink 2024-2040. 8 grams per liter dosage.” [Fall 2023 release. Base vintage may vary from review.]
Gaston Chiquet Premier Cru Brut Rosé, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $59, that’s $56.05 at 5% off and $53.10 at 10% off, 11 bottles in stock now
Antonio Galloni-Vinous 91 points “Chiquet’s NV Brut Rosé is laced with dried rose petal, kirsch, orange peel, cinnamon and dried herbs. Readers will find an exotic, mid-weight Champagne with a ton of character. There’s ample Pinot intensity and also a slight vegetal note. All those elements come together in a Champagne endowed with striking nuance. This is far from an easygoing quaffer, although I suspect it will do just fine in that role if asked. [Review is for May 2023 disgorgement]”
Pierre Paillard ‘Les Terres Roses’ Bouzy Grand Cru Brut Rose XX, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $89, that’s $84.55 at 5% off and $80.10 at 10% off, 6 bottles in stock now
Claire Nesbitt-James Suckling 93 points “This pink Champagne has aromas of wild strawberries, peaches and spiced brioche. Delicate, fruity and elegant, with ripe red fruit flavors, silky bubbles and a graceful finish. 64% chardonnay and 36% pinot noir. Based on 2020. Disgorged February 2024. 3 g/L dosage. Drink now.”
Vilmart & Cie ‘Cuvée Rubis’ Brut Rosé, Champagne NV 750ml Displayed Price: $99, that’s $94.05 at 5% off and $89.10 at 10% off, 9 bottles in stock now
Audrey Frick-Jeb Dunnuck 92 points “The NV Champagne 1er Cru Cuvee Rubis Brut Rose is a bright pale pink color, and is fruity and inviting on the nose, with notes of strawberries, pastry cream, candied grapefruit, and fresh roses. Medium-bodied, it is refreshing and approachable on the palate, with a refined and rounded mousse and a quaffable nature to drink on its own or at the table. This crowd pleaser will drink well over the coming 5-7 years, but I like it where it is now for its fresh style. (Drink between 2024-2032).”

Billecart-Salmon ‘Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon’ Brut Rosé Millésime, Champagne 2013 750ml Displayed Price: $219, that’s $208.05 at 5% off and $197.10 at 10% off, 4 bottles in stock now
Billecart-Salmon ‘Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon’ Brut Rose Millésime, Champagne 2013 1.5L Displayed Price: $499, that’s $474.05 at 5% off and $449.10 at 10% off, 3 magnums in stock now
Claire Nesbitt-James Suckling 96 points “Very fragrant wildflower honey, citrus, sliced apple, nutmeg and pastry aromas. It’s beautifully fresh and saline on the palate, with fantastic concentration, but in a delicate, silky way. Long, elegant and chalky finish. 53% pinot noir (Ay, Mareuil-sur-Ay (9%) and Bouzy) and 47% chardonnay (Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger). 4.4 g/L dosage. Disgorged January 2024. Drink now or hold.”
Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé Vintage, Champagne 2015 1.5L Displayed Price: $279, that’s $265.05 at 5% off and $251.10 at 10% off, 3 magnums in stock now
Winemaker Note “A beautiful coppery pink hue with delicate salmon reflections. An intense aromatic burst of redcurrant and cherry in syrup, with hints of candied mandarin, coffee, and almond calisson, followed by refreshing notes of menthol and a touch of spice. A vibrant and juicy attack, unfolding with hints of pomelo and peach, stretching into mandarin juice notes that linger. The finish lifts with whispers of ginger, toasted almonds, and a touch of Sichuan pepper.”
Doyard Œil de Perdrix Grand Cru Brut Rosé, Champagne 2018 750ml Displayed Price: $159, that’s $151.05 at 5% off and $143.10 at 10% off, 8 bottles in stock now
William Kelley-Wine Advocate 95 points “The 2018 Extra-Brut Grand Cru Millésimé Œil de Perdrix is lovely, wafting from the glass with scents of orange blossom, mirabelle plum, sweet citrus fruit and red berries. Medium to full-bodied, ample and pillowy, with a fleshy core of fruit and lively acids, it’s an elegant, charming wine that offers demonstrative drinking out of the gates.”

Audrey Frick-Jeb Dunnuck 93+ points “The first release of this cuvée, the 2015 Champagne Saignée Des Tempetée Brut Nature Rosé is 100% Pinot Noir, macerated on the skins for 16 hours and disgorged in March 2021. A deep salmon/garnet hue, it offers a very expressive, savory profile, with notes of blood orange, candied roses, and crushed rocks. Full-bodied with a pillowy mousse, it opens to notes of fleshy ripe apricot, which is followed by a long-lasting finish. It’s ripe with generous fruit and has no harsh edges to it. It is a very attractive wine to add to the range. Drink 2024-2034. Only 888 bottles were produced. (Drink between 2024-2034).”
