Moet & Chandon Imperial Brut Rosé

Natalie Maclean

A superb rose Champage with aromas of small field strawberries. Crisp and refreshing, with a festive ballet slipper hue. Pair with seafood.

Somm Journal

Textbook from the mousse onward, this salmon-hued blend of primarily Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with a smaller percentage of Chardonnay emits aromas of raspberry and yeastiness that make room for flashes of apricot, almond, and floral notes; the palate, meanwhile, sits in the center of the Venn diagram linking consummate freshness to red-berry fruitiness to elegance, framed by the slightest of tannins.

James Suckling

The toasty signature of the house fuses nicely with bright red fruits on the nose. The palate delivers an eerily accurate strawberry fruit flavor, with tartness, too. Extremely attractive style.

Anthony Gismondi

Most will love the pale raspberry colour that excites as it fills the glass. The nose is suitably fresh with spicy earthy undertones reflecting the 40/50 percent mix of pinot noir, 10 percent of which is still red wine along with 30 to 40 % pinot meunier again with 10 per cent red wine included. The remainder adding lightness and fruit is 10 to 20 percent chardonnay. Strawberries and citrus streaked with toasted lees linger on the palate revealing complex layers of flavours. Serve solo, with appetizers or with more substantial seafood dishes. Well done.

Ultimate Wine Challenge

Aromas are rich and slightly toasted, reminiscent of freshly baked rolls. Bright flavors of cherries and rhubarb fill the mouth with a deep yeasty finish. Bubbles are small and compact, producing a smooth mousse and overall soft mouthfeel. Delicious.

Falstaff

Light salmon pink, silver reflections; fine, persistent mousse. Candied orange zests, a hint of wild red berry jam, preserved cherries; an attractive bouquet. Medium body, fine fruit expression, delicate strawberries, pleasant acidity, a touch of dried fruit on the finish. A good food wine.

Wine Spectator

Crisp acidity defines this well-knit rosé, making a counterpoint to the lightly plush texture of the creamy mousse, with flavors of steeped raspberry, orange peel and pickled ginger showing a hint of smoke on the finish. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay.

Decanter

Restrained nose followed by attractive citrus and red berry flavours, impressive lees-aged complexity and a persistent mousse. Well made and food friendly.

Quite a deep coppery-pink, with plenty of streaming, fine bubbles. There's a creaminess and richness on the nose here, a little bit of brioche and sweet earthiness and truffle. On the palate the soft, cushiony mousse delivers delicious, sweet-edged berry fruit across the tongue and into a long, very fresh finish. Lovely.

Steve Thurlow

The salmon pink colour of this wine is very appealing as is the complexity of aromas on the nose. Expect cherry and raspberry apple fruit compote with plus hints of toffee and toast. The palate is rich with a super smooth mousse and lovely creamy texture. It is well balanced with very good length. Enjoy with smoked salmon or delicately flavoured sauteed seafood.

Vinous

Dark, vivid pink. Ripe red berries, rose oil and tangerine on the nose, plus a subtle note of toasty lees. Bitter cherry and berry skin flavors give way to softer raspberry in the middle, with a tangy blood orange nuance adding cut and lift. Packs a punch but shows very good clarity and delineation, finishing round, smooth and quite long.

Andreas Larsson, Tasted

Bright medium deep pink colour with a garnet hue. Elegant profile with pure pinot aromas of raspberry, peach, fine toast and some brioche notes. Medium weight on the palate with balanced dosage, fresh acidity, savoury red fruit and sweet citrus notes, polished with a fine length and classic balance.
