This one differs from the Brut Rosé in that the color is achieved by the addition of a bit of early harvested still Pinot Noir.
The Wine Enthusiast says:
The palest pink hue of the wine points to tenderness, and the subtle note of red apple and lemon on the nose does not disappoint. The palate comes with tart red apple juiciness and a beautifully light, bright, vivid body. Frothy bubbles make the citrus and red apple notions dance on tiptoe, coming to a light, bright and dry finish.
Decanter rates this outstanding, too, saying:
A high-quality rosé made from 66% Pinot Noir and a whole host of other grapes. The nose has a lovely purity of delicate strawberry with a savoury edge. The palate is quite round and soft, with slightly creamy red fruit and a raspberry-like tangy acidity. There is a wonderful hint of blackberry and spice on the finish. Delicious.
