Pale salmon in color. Strong nose of raspberries, strawberries, citrus, yeast, bread and minerals. Medium in body with medium plus acidity and small bubbles. Dry on the palate with citrus, green apples, light raspberries, earth, light yeast, minerals and sea salt. Nice length on the finish with almonds and limes. This is a delicious Rosé Champagne. Well balanced and entertaining. Complex and interesting. Easy drinking and good by itself or with food. A blend of 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay and 14% Pinot Meunier. Aged for 36 months on its lees. 12% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $120.

The NV Bollinger Rose Champagne is comprised of 62% Pinot Noir, 24% Chardonnay with 14% Pinot Meunier, which was almost entirely sourced from a combination of premier and grand cru vineyards. Right away the mouthfeel really entices, as this shows wonderful verge and tension once on the attack. Layers of sour red fruits parade with shades of kumquat zest, wild mushroom and peat moss tones on the palate. The length here is excellent as this great new NV Rose will drink nicely over the next decade. Drink 2020-2028- 91

A few wines from last week’s 4th Friday event! I was craving some bubbles, so I opened this. For Bollinger, I expected this to be a touch more rich and powerful. What I got was a fairly elegant and finesse driven rosé champagne. Very red berry fruit driven upfront with some strawberry cream, toasted biscuit, and sea salted rhubarb fruit. So energetic on the palate but a fine balance between blanc de noir style vs rosé. Gummy red fruits with some strawberry shortbread and some sweetness toward the finish. I think these are likely better closer to release (as opposed to their special Cuvee sibling, which can be marvelous with a touch of age).
