Critics Ratings
‘The latest release of Gaston Chiquet's NV Brut Rosé Premier Cru is showing very well, bursting with aromas of fresh peach, red berries, mint, green apples, rhubarb and pastry cream. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, crisp and fleshy, with a charming core of fruit, racy acids and a lingering, flavorful finish. This is an elegant, inviting Rosé based on Pinot Meunier.’ - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Apr 2020)
‘Flavors of crushed white cherry, almond biscotti, spring forest and mineral are set on the crisply textured mousse of this lightly juicy Champagne. Subtle finish.’ - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (2019)
