Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (89): The wine is all fruit: red berries and red currants bursting from the glass. The red wine used to give color has added an edge of tannic texture to the ripe fruitiness. In the house style of this producer, the wine is dry and crisp at the end. Drink now. Tasted: Jan 2017

Wine Enthusiast (89): The Chardonnay in the blend gives this crisp rosé tight texture. Although there are great red currant and berry fruits, a mineral character adds to the wine's complexity. It is the style of rosé that will be best with food. Tasted: Jan 2015

Wine Enthusiast (88): Dry and crisp, this bright, tight Champagne has citrus, red fruits and a strong steely character at its heart. The bottling tastes young, fresh and would benefit from some bottle age. Hold it until mid-2015. Tasted: Jan 2014

Gilbert & Gaillard (89): Deep pink. Clean nose focusing on raspberry and strawberry. Full-bodied, generous mouthfeel with unbridled fruit expression. A perfumed yet well-structured Champagne that would make a marvellous partner for poultry. Tasted: Jan 2013

Gilbert & Gaillard (86): Salmon-pink. After swirling, the nose opens up to notes of ripe raspberry and strawberry yet remains quite understated. On the palate, full body, vinosity and power. Well-balanced across the palate. Makes a perfect complement to food. Tasted: Jan 2011

Bob Campbell (95): When to drink: 2015 to 2019. Tasted: Apr 2015
