What a shame – this wine is so close to sublime and then it’s let down by a dosage that leaves it just a touch too sweet, confected and simple on the finish.

It’s great to see a rosé in such fresh, lively form with a gorgeous pale salmon hue.

Shut your eyes, inhale, and you’re in red Burgundy territory. Truffles, game, sous bois (forest floor), roast chestnuts and then strawberry tart, glacé orange and guava.

Made by Laurent-Perrier using the same saignée maceration method as its own ethereal rosé, one would expect this to be an outstanding wine.

A beautiful, feminine and graceful rosé of detail and precision. It’s a particularly reserved and fresh style, thanks to a predominance of chardonnay, based on the 2006 vintage.

2008 disgorgement, and holding its freshness particularly well two years later. This is a fine, restrained and elegant rosé.

La Grande Année Rosé is La Grande Année with a small inclusion (just seven to eight percent) of red wine from the same vintage from the tiny Bollinger vineyard La Côte aux Enfants in Aÿ.

The 1999 LGA Rosé has been on the shelves for a few years now, but it’s still kicking around. Assuming it’s been well cared for, it’s in a particularly happy place right now, so don’t be shy.

Rosé NV was a much celebrated addition to the Bollinger family in 2008, albeit only on a tiny scale (just five percent of the volume of Special Cuvée). It’s based on the Special Cuvée, to which just five percent of still red wine from the vintage of the base wine is added.

Billecart has not only pulled a hat-trick of my three best wines of the year, but it has done so with two wines from the lesser 2000 vintage. This is preposterous, but taste prevails above reputation!
