NV Billecart Salmon Rose
$49.98 / 375ml (In Stock) Buy Now
94 JS / 94 VP / 93 WA / 93 WS
So much about this Champagne is worth it: The quality is consistent and excellent, the price is manageable, the story is great, and the color is so inviting. Since hopping onto the rosé train in the '70s, Billecart has perfected the crowd-pleasing bubbly pink. It hits all the right places on the palate. The aromas on the nose are in harmony with pastry dough notes and flavors of deep, ripe strawberries. The palate presents soft bubbles, showcasing a pillowy, creamy palate. The finish has a slight dryness that readies you for the next sip. - Vinepair
NV Krug Grand Cuvee 170th Edition # 420025
96 DE / 96 JS / 96 VP / 95+ JD / 95 WA
Wonderful precision and depth right away on the nose, with dried pineapple, light apricot and hints of flint and slate. Medium-bodied palate that’s firm, bright and linear. Vivid,driven acidity adds focus and perfection. Dried lemon and a wonderful, creamy texture with a mineral undertone. Extremely long, almost endless. Sophistication here. Drink or hold. - James Suckling
NV Marc Hebrart Brut Selection
92 WA / 91 VM / 91 WS
Disgorged in May 2020, the latest release of the NV Extra-Brut Premier Cru Sélection is showing well, exhibiting aromas of citrus oil, white flowers, peach and fresh pastry. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly layered and precise, it's charming and beautifully refined, with a somewhat more chiseled profile reflecting Hébrart's move from Brut to Extra-Brut for this bottling. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
NV Ruinart Rose
94 WS / 93 JS / 92 VM
This offers all the trim sleekness of a well-built racing sailboat, while the flavors unfurl on the palate like a full spinnaker sail. Macerated raspberry and poached apricot fruit is underscored by smoke and toast notes, and pleasing hints of crystallized honey, tangerine zest and dried thyme echo on the mouthwatering finish. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator
Ruinart Blanc De Blancs NV
93 WS / 93 JS / 93 WE / 92 VM
Beautifully balanced and refined in texture, this displays exotic ground spice and floral accents to the flavors of poached white peach, Meyer lemon and candied ginger, with hints of pastry and honey. Offers a lasting, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2023. 2,917 cases imported. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator
Louis Roederer Collection 244 NV (375ml)
91 CT
Lovely golden yellow, very champagne-like, hue. Dense and steady flow of extremely fine bubbles. Deep, broad bouquet of ripe fruit (wild peaches, William pears) combined with citrus (lemons, blood oranges). The iodized and smoky notes, associated with the autolysis and the ageing in wood, add aromatic freshness. Then come notes of chalk and a hint of reduction, suggesting that the wine will be concentrated and powerful. The entry to the palate is delicious showing a rich and robust texture. There is a very juicy and concentrated sensation as if you were biting into a ripe fruit. The substance is caressingly soft, coating the palate but is then immediately lightened by the delicate bubbles. The length is created by a lovely backbone of chalky freshness. The wine is both delectably rich, with a slightly roasted character, and super fresh thanks to a salivating finish. The smoky notes then take over to underpin a very flavorsome finish.

Krug Rose 24th Edition #418037 MV
$194.89 / 375 (In Stock) Buy Now
98 JS / 97 WE / 96 WS / 95 DE
A very vinous rosé with sliced strawberry and peach aromas and flavors with a steely undertone. Hints of cream and biscuit. It’s medium-bodied, tight, linear and precise with pinpointed structure that goes straight to the center palate and carries on through the long finish. Very fine tannins provide drive and length. Drink or hold. - James Suckling
2015 Louis Roederer Brut Rose
94 WA / 94 JS / 93 WS / 93 JD / 17 JR
The 2015 Brut Vintage Rosé is generous and demonstrative, bursting with aromas of peach, orange and pear mingled with hints of red berries, fresh bread and ginger. Full-bodied, layered and vinous, it's rich and enveloping, its textural attack segueing into an ample, fleshy core that's girdled by bright acids and enlivened by a pillowy mousse. Long and expansive, it's more generous and gourmand than its racier 2014 predecessor, but just as good. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
