For a rose Champagne, the deep pink color is extraordinary. So is the palate, definitely more a red wine than a Champagne, tasting of spice, wood from fermentation and very ripe red berries, with a tannic texture. The wine was made by getting color from the skins, rather than by the usual rose Champagne method of adding still red wine.——R.V.(12/1/2008)—— 90
