Wine & Spirits 94 and Best Buy at $60:
Deep in color and vinous in its red fruit, this is a spicy and compelling rosé. There's pristine strawberry flavor at its core, surrounded by accents of red grapefruit, blood orange and fennel. The wine's intensity rises like its bubbles from base note to high notes, leaving a pale red fruit ghosting in the finish.
And the Wine Advocate:
The NV Brut Rose is a surprisingly big, boisterous wine from Diebolt-Vallois. The heavy presence of red grapes is felt in the wine’s texture and weight, both of which are a bit unusual for this property. The Rose shows off gorgeous, sweet aromatics and a focused finish, both of which serve to balance the wine’s exuberance. This is another terrific wine from Diebolt-Vallois.
Wine Spectator 93:
Richly spiced, soft and creamy in texture, this well-cut Champagne layers clove and cardamom notes with blackberry, biscuit, white peach and sliced almond flavors. Shows power, but remains well-knit and elegant overall.
