Champagne Rosé Brut

94+
/100

Lobenberg: Der Rosé von Delamotte wird stets von 15 Prozent nicht allzu gereiften Reserveweinen komplementiert, genau wie der weiße Brut. Er verbleibt rund 3 Jahre auf der Hefe und wird mit sieben bis acht Gramm Dosage degorgiert. Der Rosé basiert auf Chardonnay, dem etwas über 10 Prozent Pinot Noir als Rotwein hinzugegeben werden. Entsprechend weinig ist er in der Nase mit dichter, süßer Kirschfrucht und Himbeere, auch etwas Wassermelone und süßer Minzetee. Im Mund läuft das Ganze über die typische Kalksteinmineralität von Delamotte, aber der Rosé ist etwas duftiger und verspielter als die strafferen Blanc des Blancs. Ein delikater Kirschsaft mit feiner, dunkler, rauchiger Mineralik und getrocknetem Lavendel. Trotz seiner leichten Süße bleibt er sehr klar und fokussiert, typisch Delamotte eben.

Suckling über: Champagne Rosé Brut

-- Suckling: The quality of this NV rosé is subtle, with such beautiful aromas of cherry, orange peel, pomegranate and honeysuckle. Hints of bitter lemon and sliced strawberry. Medium body with very fine bubbles and a creamy, lively finish. The base is 2021. Two years on the lees. Dosage 7.5g/L. Small production. Only 10,000 bottles made. Drink or hold.

Decanter über: Champagne Rosé Brut

-- Decanter: The judges were all struck by the purity of Côte des Blancs specialist Delamotte, sister house of Salon in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. President Didier Depond believes in the ‘freshness and poise’ of Chardonnay, which here comes entirely from grand cru villages (with just 8% Pinot Noir, also from grand cru villages of the Montagne de Reims). Based on the ripe 2020 vintage, with a modest 15% reserve wines, the class of the source material shines in this exemplary bottling. Tom Hewson: Very alluring bright cherry, honey and brown butter richness. Serious, with stony minerality, dried flowers and mandarin/grapefruit. Stunning. Eugenio Egorov: Fresh redcurrants, cranberries and apples, notes of tangerine and bread crust. Rounded fruit is balanced by lively acidity, with a light mousse. Victoria Mason MW: Nutty oxidative aromas, flinty funk, creamy white peach and lemon curd. This is complex and intense, with a vibrant, pink grapefruit, tangy freshness. Persistent and elegant.

Jeb Dunnuck über: Champagne Rosé Brut

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The NV Champagne Rosé is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot Noir, with the base of 2019, and 15% still red wine. It pours a salmon/orange-tinged hue and opens in the glass to fresh, floral, pretty aromas of nectarine, salted orange, fresh rose petal, and curry spice. Medium-bodied, it has a wonderful chalky and pithy texture, with a pinpoint mousse that’s almost an afterthought. Ripe with fruit but well-balanced and long, with mouthwatering acidity, its spicier notes (cardamom, perhaps?) start to reveal themselves as it opens, and the wine lasts long on the palate. It is quite distinctive. Drink 2024-2040. 8 grams per liter dosage.

Wine&Spirits über: Champagne Rosé Brut

-- Wine&Spirits: This rosé bristles with the power and grace of a Vosne-Romanée, though its color is a more delicate salmon pink and its flavors more ethereal. You can breath its red fruit in the finish, where the strawberry notes turn vibrant and mouthwatering. The structure is substantial enough to match meat dishes, or pâté de foie.

Wine Spectator über: Champagne Rosé Brut

-- Wine Spectator: There’s a lovely delicacy to this elegant rosé Champagne, with nonetheless fine concentration and focus to its flavors of baked white peach and apricot, blood orange peel, brioche and vanilla, all carried on the fine, creamy mousse. Long and softly juicy, with the minerally underpinning coming to the fore on the finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.There’s a lovely delicacy to this elegant rosé Champagne, with nonetheless fine concentration and focus to its flavors of baked white peach and apricot, blood orange peel, brioche and vanilla, all carried on the fine, creamy mousse.
