Gaston Chiquet Rose NV (750ML)

92 WS / 92 VM / 91 WA / 90 WE / 90 JD

Floral and spice aromatics are an enticing entry point for this expressive rosé. The fine, creamy bead is plush on the palate, carrying juicy flavors of steeped strawberry, nectarine and red licorice. Clean-cut, minerally finish. Disgorged July 2020. Drink now. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator

The NV Brut Rosé (2020 base) is stellar. Lifted floral and savory accents meld into a core of punchy red-toned fruit. Cranberry, white pepper, mint, crushed rocks and blood orange build into the nervy, resonant finish. The Rosé is light in color and finessed, but also has tons of richness, much of that coming from the 18% still Pinot in the blend. Disgorged: March, 2022. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Disgorged in July 2019, the latest release of Gaston Chiquet's NV Brut Rosé Premier Cru is showing very well, bursting with aromas of fresh peach, red berries, mint, green apples, rhubarb and pastry cream. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, crisp and fleshy, with a charming core of fruit, racy acids and a lingering, flavorful finish. This is an elegant, inviting Rosé based on Pinot Meunier. - William Kelley, Wine Advocat

This soft, warm rosé has plenty of Pinot Noir in the blend to give it weight. Raspberry and red plum notes accompany touches of tannin and minerality. The acidity is infectious, making this a great match for food. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

A bright pink color, the NV Champagne 1er Cru Brut Rosé is composed of 40% Pinot Noir (15% of which is vin rouge), 30% Chardonnay, and 30% Meunier, with 88% from the 2021 vintage and the rest from 2020, all raised without the use of oak. The wine is expressive on opening, with a fruity profile revealing ripe notes of nectarine, crushed berries, candied flowers, and wet stone. Medium-bodied and pithy, it has an orange rind texture and a fluffy mousse. It gets a good deal of structure from the Pinot Noir and is more than a simple quaffer, with the ability to carry through a meal from start to finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. 6 grams per liter of dosage.-Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck
