A rich and toasty version, featuring roasted almond, brioche, honey and graphite notes. Vibrant acidity and a finely textured bead keep this mouthwatering and light-footed, carrying flavors of dried cherry, wild strawberry and licorice.

Dangerous Dave The Turntable Slave at North Sydney Cellars recommended this to me as one of his favourite tipples. I tried the Ayala Rosé the other day too (on his recommendation) but this is the superior booze – and we both agree on this point. Not cheap though, but there you are – bubbly rosé rarely is. It’s a dreamy fluffy sort of Champagne with a cloud of strawberry shortcake, spice and struck flint. Fine, dry and delicate but not lacking in flavour or fruitiness. The length is excellent and it drinking it is effortless. I’m all for this style.
A rich and toasty version, elegant overall, with a silky texture and mouthwatering acidity. This offers a lovely array of white raspberry, white cherry, toasted brioche, smoky roasted nut, honey and candied lemon zest flavors.

With a high percentage of reserve wines from older vintages in the blend, this is a rich and maturely ripe wine. It has touches of red fruit along with acidity, but its main pleasure is the yeasty edge and the depth of flavor. Drink this wine now.

The discrete Henriot labeling is echoed in this elegant wine. Like so many Henriot Champagnes it has good bottle age, shows toast as well as light red fruits. There is a depth of flavor here, the texture of yeasty mousse and apple skins going right through the taste. Ready to drink, but worth aging.
Smoky, with notes of toasted hazelnut and brioche enriching kirsch, black currant candy and dried apricot flavor. Tightly knit and lively, with fine texture and a firm, focused finish.
A slight grain to the texture and bright acidity give this rosé Champagne a lively, zesty quality that drives the flavors of ripe black cherry, grilled plum, fig paste, mulling spices, cream and toast. Full-bodied and well-cut, with a long finish of sweet fruit.
Precise and flavorful with aromas of strawberries, dried raspberries and some mild spices. Medium-bodied, showing fine bubbles and succulent character. Driven and focused, with a persistent finish. A blend of 57% pinot noir, 40% chardonnay and 3% meunier.
