Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
(like the vintage brut, this is a 60/40 blend of pinot noir and chardonnay) Pale salmon-orange color. Complex nose melds red berries, orange zest, minerals, nuts, toffee and smoke; I thought I got a whiff of Cuban tobacco. Then fruity, frothy and gentle, with notes of raspberry and minerals and harmonious acidity. Nicely focused, very subtle rose with a smooth finish.
