Diebolt-Vallois Brut Rose NV 750ml

Critical Acclaim:

Richly spiced, soft and creamy in texture, this well-cut Champagne layers clove and cardamom notes with blackberry, biscuit, white peach and sliced almond flavors. Shows power, but remains well-knit and elegant overall. Drink now through 2020. 1,065 cases made. Score: 93 -- Wine Spectator, Nov 2014

(63% pinot noir, 27% chardonnay and 10% pinot meunier; LR 11): Limpid orange. A highly fragrant bouquet evokes tangerine, raspberry, yellow rose and chalky minerals. At once deep and lively, with powerful citrus fruit and red berry flavors given spine and lift by zesty minerality. This vibrant, palate-coating rose would cut through rich, creamy dishes but also drinks very nicely on its own. Score: 92 points -- Vinous, Dec 2013
