Essi Avellan: Medium-deep peachy rose color. The first bottle was corked. Second bottle: Full-on, winey Pinot style with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and the undergrowth. Velvet-textured and smooth on the vinous palate. Not your conventional Champagne rosé; in a Burgundian style, but successfully so. Individual, but with appeal and elegance. 17.5

Andrew Jefford: Pale orange-pink. Attractive, leafy, and soft, with the red-fruit notes well modulated into the sweeter, more lemony blending elements: harmonious and enticing. On the palate, by contrast, this is a little less subtle in style at first, with a forceful acid component. Once that has worked its way through the central palate, though, the wine settles down. Characterful, exuberant, and rewarding overall. 15.5

Tom Stevenson: Good drinking Champagne, but I’m not sure I would know that I was drinking anything from a specific vineyard. 15.5
