H. Billiot Fils Brut Rosé
When I am making my choices for holiday drinking this season, I will definitely be drinking this! Pure and classy, dry yet ripe, with raspberries, licorice, red roses, vanilla cream and spices swirling from the glass in the nose & mouth. 100% Grand Cru, highest quality fruit from a tiny Champagne House in the village of Ambonnay.
Burghound
A wonderfully elegant and pure nose that is as much wine as it is Champagne as the fruit is more deeply pitched... this is more high-toned Pinot Noir in character. The flavors are delicious, complex and detailed with real depth and punch. A lovely but entirely serious Rose. 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay. Score: 93.
Score: 93.
Wine Spectator
This pale rosé offers complex aromas and flavors of dried berry, dried citrus and spice notes, all married to a firm structure and a refined texture. Less fruity than some rosés, yet very harmonious and inviting. Drink now through 2010. Score: 91. —Bruce Sanderson, November 30, 2007.

International Wine Cellar
90 points Pale salmon skin color. Complex nose combines strawberry preserves, ginger, molasses, nutmeg, flowers and earth. Bright, penetrating flavors of strawberry, raspberry and flowers, with complicating notes of smoke and minerals. A dense, saline Champagne with noteworthy flavor authority and length. Score: 90.
Score: 90.
