"A harmonious rosé Champagne, with sleek acidity creating a mouthwatering frame for the focused range of ripe black cherry, blood orange granita, ground ginger and lime blossom flavors. Shows good concentration as the flavors expand on the palate, but this is racy, with good drive and energy through to the lingering finish, where hints of chopped almond and minerally saline and chalk emerge. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Disgorged April 2021. Drink now through 2034. 50 cases imported."

"The 2016 Brut Rosé Emotion is quite impressive today. Dark red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and white pepper all race across the palate, showing notable depth and overall intensity. Just-disgorged, the 2016 is quite young today. The power of the Pinot Noir is especially apparent. In most vintages, that youthful exuberance mellows into a more subtle, ethereal Rosé as its color moves from intense red to more of a salmon/copperish hue. I expect that will be the same here. Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged: October 2023."
