A pink-copper-gold color with a smoky Burgundian nose of delicate red fruits. A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from six grand cru sites, with 14% Pinot Noir red wine from the Clos Colin vineyard, this is the Chambolle of Champagne. Great with duck.

Wine Spectator
There's a racy tension here, with vivid acidity and an underlying streak of minerality, yet this is elegant overall, with a finely detailed mousse and well-meshed flavors of ripe raspberry, nectarine, Earl Grey tea and biscuit. Offers a long, chalk-tinged finish.

Wine Advocate Robert Parker
The 2008 Brut Rosé La Grande Dame is also showing well, wafting from the glass with notes of red berries, warm spices, toasted brioche and citrus rind. Full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, it's a vinous, muscular wine like its white sibling, with a lively spine of acidity and delicately phenolic back-end grip.

Wine & Spirits
Tense and reductive, this wine needs air to show its floral pinot-noir scents of cherries and strawberries. The fruit is transparent and beautiful, both restricted and enriched by oak, lasting with briskness and freshness.
