Brut Rosé Champagne 2004
2004 vintage. This was a highlight reel. Acidity, dirty, pretty, fabulous mousse, delicate, concentrated, fruit, long finish. It had it all at some point in the tasting experience. Looks to go long in this state…at least another 7-8 years (till 2033) without any noticeable dropoff. Can’t remember the last time I had a better rosé brut. Magical. 03.01.25. — a month ago

Off-putting style in what way? That is normally a consensus favorite at most champagne tastings.
Yes! Consensus “off putting”! From their website on this wine: “The 50 % reserve wines give an elegant nose : freshly baked brioche, roasted notes and ripe, sun-kissed fruits…” Perhaps the combination of the 50% Reserve wines used in this particular disgorgement does not suit my taste. I did not take back label pic on this either, so can’t offer you exact batch info. But, I was not alone in my experience, complete strangers shared this same sentiment during the tasting. Not an expert here, just not my style or at least this disgorgement. Cheers 🍾
