Jose Dhondt Rose de Saignee Brut NV (750ML)

93 WS / 93 VM

An understated version, with a waft of pretty cherry blossom and spice notes on the nose drawing you into the glass, where a backbone of chiseled acidity is aligned with flavors of ripe red apple and raspberry fruit, pickled ginger and an underpinning of chalky mineral. Fine and vibrant in texture, this expands slowly, so give it time. 200 cases made, 70 cases imported. - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator

Dhondt's NV Rosé de Saignee is a true reference point for the style. Rich, vinous and impeccably layered in the glass, the Rosé boasts stunning depth and richness, with intense bold flavors and impeccable balance. Autumn leaves, sweet red cherries, mint, tobacco and spices are all laced together beautifully in the glass. This is Pinot from Champagne at its best. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
