Vinous - Score: 91 (2013 December)

(100% saignee pinot noir; L33102011): Dark pink. Intensely perfumed aromas of raspberry, tangerine and fresh rose are lifted by notes of white pepper and smoky minerals. Suave, silky and focused, showing fresh red berry flavors and an undercurrent of minerality. Finishes on a dried cherry note, with impressive length and resonating smokiness. Serve this full-flavored pink Champagne with a roasted bird or pork dish.
