NV Champagne de Venoge Princesse Rose Champagne

94 POINTS

Falstaff

Pale orange pink. Silver reflections, very fine, delicate mousse. A hint of raspberries and red cherries, delicate fresh plum and nuances of orange zest in the background. Juicy, elegant, subtle fruit sweetness, fine acidity, mineral lemon finish, lingers well, a full-bodied aperitif, also suitable as a food companion.

Falstaff

Light orange-pink in colour with silver reflections and a very fine mousse. Delicate red forest berries, currants and red cherries, with hints of yellow currants and candied orange zest too. There's a juicy and elegant fruit sweetness on the palate with a fine acidity and mineral and lemony finish that lingers well. A pleasure both as an aperitif and with food.

Wine Spectator

An atypical but delicious rosé that's like a fine Meursault with bubbles. There's almost no pink in the color, and the rich fruit flavors and lingering finish are reminiscent of ripe Chardonnay.

Wine Spectator

An assertive style of Champagne, with a deep gold color, plenty of toasty, buttery, mature aromas and similar flavors. Broad and rich on the palate, turning more tart on the finish.

Decanter

Mature apples, red flowers, peaches, and grapefruit skin. Great structure, balanced acidity, salty spine, and good tension. Judges: Tom Hewson, Eugenio Egorov, Victoria Mason MW
