Score 93/100 · Drink 2023-2027, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Dec 2023

Geoffroy was looking for a more ethereal expression of rosé than that delivered by his emblematic Rosé de Saignée, so he produced the NV Rosé de Saignée Blanc de Rosé Extra Brut with co-maceration Chardonnay fruit along with Pinot Noir. The latest release, derived from the 2014 vintage and disgorged in June 2022 with one gram per liter dosage, is a pretty, medium to full-bodied Champagne evocative of toasted nuts, pear, rose petals and dried flowers. Ample, pillow and precise, it concludes with a chalky finish.

Geoffroy’s NV Extra Brut Blanc de Rose Rose de Saignee is dry, bracing and totally focused, reflecting the low dosage of just 2 grams per liter. A blend of equal parts 2009 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the Blanc de Rose oozes tension, energy and pure minerality. Faded flowers and crushed rocks add complexity to the vibrant fruit. This is an eccentric Rose that is at once fleeting and focused, but it is also quite pretty in its own way. Disgorgement date: May 2011. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. A Terry Theise Selection, imported by Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300
