“In a word: sublime.” - The Wine Advocate, 94 points

Nothing lifts your spirits more than a glass of rosé Champagne and this is a dry and delicate Brut made from Premier Cru Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from 40 year-old vines. As with all of Veuve Fourny’s Champagnes, they are proud to exhibit the quality of their fruit and they don’t attempt to disguise it behind a high dosage, so this is resolutely dry with only 6 grams per litre of residual sugar. 12.5% alc Drink now-2029.

Press review:

The Wine Advocate: “The NV Brut Rosé Premier Cru is fabulous. Rich, ample and beautifully resonant in the glass, the Premier Cru dazzles from the very first taste. Unlike the Blanc Premier Crus in this range, the Rosé has more body and textural intensity, all of which make for an absolutely compelling wine. I love the vinous intensity here. Orange peel, raspberry and kirsch linger on the Pinot-driven finish. In a word: sublime. Drink now-2028.” 94 points

JancisRobinson.com: “This deep-coloured, almost tomato-red champagne is so meaty and substantial and intense that it is first wine then champagne. It smells of red apple and bitter orange peel. It tastes of tamarillos and pitanga berries, tart raspberries, the citrus fragrance of telicherry peppercorns, cinnamon stick. Tiny tight bubbles buzz with tiny tongue-tingling voltage. It feels like running my tongue over old weathered stones. We threw it in at the deep end, pairing it with hokkigai marinated in ponzu with fresh coriander, spring onions, ginger and sesame oil, and this gorgeous wine went toe to toe, with casual grace, with all those game-changing ingredients. I’d love to try this with beef! (Tamlyn Currin). Drink now-2026.” 17 points

Vinous: “The NV Brut Rosé is a real stand-out. Deep, beautifully layered and vinous, the Rosé comes alive in the glass. Blood orange, rose petal, mint and cinnamon build in a compelling Rosé that marries richness and vibrancy. In a word: compelling. Drink now-2027.” 94 points

Decanter: "Veuve Fourny in Vertus is a specialist in turning out true Côte des Blancs rosés using Vertus Pinot Noir. This effortlessly pretty, fragrant non-vintage uses 13% red wine from the village, together with 40% Pinot Noir as blanc de noirs and 47% Chardonnay from reserve to craft a rosé perfectly poised between sweet red apple, cherry and nectarine fruits, an energising squeeze of Chardonnay citrus and subtle richness of sourdough toast and fresh nut. Joyous." 93 points
